Folkiedave, the playlist for your show is fantastic. Is there a website or anything where people on the wrong end of Snake Pass for Sheffield can listen to it?

I'm not personally convinced that folk clubs are the only place or even the main place to hear folk music these days... of course it all depends what your definition of folk music is. If like WLD seems to advocate, 'folk music' is exactly the same as 'music-played-at-folk-clubs-with-the-exception-of-traditional-music-which-is-clearly-the-last-refuge-of-middle-class-tossers-and-the-establishment' then the discussion is over. Personally, I came to love (what I think of as) folk music without the intercession of the folk club scene. Folk clubs were never part of what my peers did - we were more interested in gigs. Banjiman's conception of what a folk club could be makes me think again though... meanwhile, there's always Les's singaround at the Beech in Chorlton on 5th November!
