Sorry, but where is the problem? I run a folk club. It is advertised all over Manchester. If any black people came they would be, and have been, made more than welcome. Surely the fact that they chose not to come is more their problem than mine. What am I supposed to do? Turn it into a blues, reggae or rap club to attract more black people? Sorry, but it is a club that leans heavily of English folk music. If someone wants to come and give us some Bangra music, no problem, but at the end of the day we are still a Folk club.

This whole premise is load of nonsense. Folk clubs are for folk - regardless of creed, colour or culture. If they don't appeal to everyone how is that an issue? Not everyone likes folk or rock or sci-fi or cabbage. What the hell does it matter?
