Thread Name: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
FFS GS, if somebody speaks from the experience of having been at dozens of clubs over the years and describes how the better perfomers have moved on to other venues, they mean exactly that.
I too have done the very same and my experience mirrors that of Mr Ginger.
True, I haven't been to this gaff in Lincolnshire (wherever it is) nor to the Lewes Arms (though I have been to the Royal Oak in Lewes several times and regard it as one of the best venues in the land).
But I've also seen far too many dirty old gits as described by Dave who can't even remember the words to their idiot ditties, far too many teenagers who ought to have been confined to their bedrooms for several years longer and far too many tone-deaf wannabes.
But One Step Beyond?
Who's booking Madness these days? I'd go . . .
