Thread Name: Dartford Folk Club
Subject: RE: Dartford Folk Club
I cannot believe Dino Dini has been at least within rubbing distance of folk music for that long, and has not yet grasped the difference between folk music and singer songwriter. I do not (hereby) assert that one is better than the other, but would you expect pork to be labelled beef or chicken - or sold as such?

I'm not sure that Dartford has ever been that floorsinger-friendly (certainly traddie-floorsinger-friendly) and while Dartford may have found a niche in playing to the paying audience many folk clubs have a different remit.

However, I see Tom Lewis is there shortly, so if I am timely passing on my way back from something very square that night, I may pop in (not armed with a guitar) to listen. He was excellent at Tenterden this weekend.
