Clubs will either survive or they won't. Quite simple realy. While us 'oldies' (Just turned 54 myself) are willing to support them they will continue. If no-one supports them when we are gone they will fail. What I suspect will happen in reality is that the young who do not want to support folk clubs today will be quite happy to do so in 10 or 20 years time when they have had enough of dance clubs, raves and expensive concerts. It is a cycle of changing audiences. We may see ups and downs but I feel it highly unlikely that clubs will disappear altogether.

Cheers
