"Nobody goes there" indeed! Chris B you're so wrong, it's funny.
Where were the two SongLinks project launches held, with audiences of 300 apiece? Do you count the researchers visiting the archives? Or the hundreds that go there for dance/instrument lessons every week? Or are you just thinking "folk club"? And even then you'd be wrong - with regular audiences of 40+, they beat many other clubs hands down.
Do pop in and have a browse - you might learn something about your own tradition.
