Thread Name: Harrogate Folk Club closing
Subject: RE: Harrogate Folk Club closing
Treewind, I can confirm that if if the Apathy Olympics are ever staged then Harrogate would be an ideal host. Perhaps it's typical of well-to-do towns. People feels it's a "nice place to live", yet spend most of their spare time closeted at home watching their gargantuan plasma screen TVs

We have a half-decent football team, just below league status, yet they struggle to pull crowds in excess of 400. I go to see them just like I go to the Friday 13th Club, but struggle to persuade friends to attend either. I'm sorry to see the club go, and am grateful for Ray's efforts. Thanks to him I've seen artists like Treewind and Mary just five minutes up the road from my house
