Shocked to hear this, really. It's only a few years back that they won BBC Folk Club of the Year. It's true that it became a concert club - particularly in recent years, and it's "you can't sit there, that's Gladys and Arthur's seat" approach could be seen as a tad unwelcoming, but it never the less leaves a hole that needs filling. Surely something can rise out of the ashes, can't it?
