Not quite sure what a folk club is - so let's not go there. Go for the spirit of the question not the actual. I didn't want to post this on the "Why well run folk clubs are important" because it's tangential.

I started the ball rolling to create the musical gathering that myself and some friends started that keeps going after 4+ years when I was 48.

It's changed a bit since then - eg venue (thanks Mr Smith) - but the same things still broadly hold. There is an old thread here rather than crowd this thread.

I played music when I was young and then there was a 30 year gap.

I wonder why now.

I have a lot of thoughts on this but would be interested in people's views.
