so these days are we still likely to find
traditional north country english folk clubs
with the sign
"No Irish, Gypsies, or Blacks.."
nailed firmly to heavily barricaded front doors..?????

ok.. that was just fatuous sarcasm..

but seriously, cant really imagine post war rural community folk clubs
being particularly welcoming to anybody not born locally
with fewer than 6 toes on each foot..

..however i'd guess there was a certainly more tolerant and positve
cultural cross-fertilization in big northern city ports
like liverpool..
