Subject: RE: Folk Music Is for intellectuals
I get an incredible number of performers who are singer songwriters through my folk club. I love em. Whilst all these stupid tw*ts pontificate, I get to see some amazing singer song writers with some lovely songs.

Now let me see, in the last year since my club got up and running again, I have seen a lot of performers who have done floorspots at the club and have written songs themselves. Here are a few.

John Conolly
Dave & Julie Evardson
Winter/Wilson
Graham Moore
Anthony John Clarke
Cara
Stitherum
HissyFit
HarriWatts Band
James Raynard
Paul Dickinson & Angela King
Big Al Whittle
Wild Wolds Women
Helian Keys
Jane Kitchen
Bram Taylor
Phil Hare
Tina Taylor
Clarty Sough
Rhyzome
Harbour Lights
Phil Brougham
Tina Taylor
No Fixed Abode


That does not include many performers who do not write their own songs, but nick em from somebody else :-)

It has made for a very wide and thoroughly enjoyable folk club. It also shows what wonderful talent is out there that most folkies never ever get to see. It also keeps my audience happy.

Sorry if I missed out any singer songwriters.
