Different successful clubs are run in many different ways

Membership can also have different outcomes such as to exclude rather than include and also be a means to swell club funds

Of course clubs differ in whether they are seen as having Aims towards regular guest nights or not and seen as a special occasion along with the social club feel of folk entertainment and having a good time!

Good luck to Gren and long may his club thrive ~ he and his regulars put in a great deal of time and effort and are the back bone of the folk club scene, and continue to provide the weekly bread and butter of the professional and semi professional folk artists

There is an arguement which says that Folk Festivals are taking over such a role ~ we need to bolster the image of Folk clubs and our professionalism but still maintain the feel of the social night out, I feel
