When I first got into the music, I was 3 miles away from my nearest club, with a couple of others maybe 20-25 minutes drive away. You could easily get to a ceili 2 or 4 nights a week if you wanted.

Living in London now, I'm a bus-ride away from my nearest club, plus I work near a venue that has folk gigs quite regularly. (Although that's closing down, I understand).
