The origial thought behind this thread was to stimulate some discussion about ' Folk Song Clubs ' especially in England. I started going to folk clubs in the late sixties, they were vibrant and exiting, very heavily comitted to the left of politics. I have seen in them since a gradual but definate decline into little more than ' pop ' music venues, I have even heard Beatle's songs sung in them and even so called ' Guest ' singers singing Buddy Holly and similar songs. Come on all you organiser's and MC's lets have some answers. Dave
