snobbery doesn't inherently mean class. There is intellectual snobbery, artistic snobbery, etc, these facets are readily visible in MANY folk clubs.

As humans are walking ego's, ego is to be expected, but sadly, at folk clubs, everyone is a 'character' and revel in that, and so it gets sillier and sillier each week, everyone pushing their caricature ever more in people face.

There are some wonderful people at folk clubs, but you can always spot the creature thus described by working class poster.

Oh ernest, your wife is calling.
