Subject: RE: Dartford Folk Club
Well, the supporters of Dartford seem to do a bit of a line in snapping, but I don't see anyone actually addressing the three principal complaints: -
1)   Floorsingers do not feel welcome.
2)   The residents play (sometimes a number of songs) and leave no time for floor singers.
3    There is too much American music (not necessarily from Americans).

It doesn't affect me, I don't go there. The last time I went "dressed to play" (as it were) I was asked if I wanted to play.

But these criticisms are not new, they are long-standing, and they deserve a serious answer, not "yah-boo-sucks-chizz-chizz"
