Try booking Britney Spears at the Folk club you are involved with,see what the reaction of your regular audience is.
They expect Folk music, and dont pretend you dont know what that is.

I'm not talking about performers, I'm talking about songs. I'd just like to be clear on what you think Folk music is. Given Stringsinger's post, there is no such thing as a contemporary folk song as you claim to sing.

I have heard all the following sung in folk clubs by people who I would consider to be folk singers -

When The Snows Of Winter Fall - Graeme Miles
Norwegian Wood - Lennon/McCartney
Sweet Thames Flow Softly - Ewan MacColl
Fields of Gold - Sting
Fields of Athenry - Pete St. John
Streets of London - Ralph McTell

Which of them would you classify as contemporary folk songs and which not?

Conversley, I have heard Arthur Brown sing The Great Silkie in a folk club (and bloody good he was too) but does that mean that, for the moment at least, it wasn't a folk song because he is not a folk singer?
