There may be merit to the idea of STARTING a folk club if there is none. Here in Richmond, VA there wasn't much "folk" - plenty of country, bluegrass, rock, pop, etc oh and also singer-songwriter type folk stuff, but no traditionally oriented folk venues that I knew of. Two friends and myself started a small folk concert series that is on once a month at a local coffee shop. The owner loves folk music and he also sells lots of coffee, tea and snacks on concert nights. (He doesn't have a liquor license, so no beer) It seats 45. The first two concerts have been sold out, and interest is growing. Often local churches will let you use their facilities, so that is another avenue to explore. Put up a notice at local music shops, in local papers, etc. You may find there are many people who are interested.
