Cuddles, I stopped running a folkclub in 1987.,so dont blame me
Cuddles,I have been professional folksinger since 1976,and that is the way it has always been,and its the same with festivals,organisers decide who is booked.
your logic is flawed ,because festivals are flourishing.
The Snail,who has been pursuing me beligerently of late ,helps to organise a folk club in Lewes.
Lewes has two folk clubs,now I have played one of these clubs several times in the in past,but the Snail never bothered to turn up when I played these clubs,if he had he would know what kind of modern songs I sing,and that I always introduce modernsongs as a modern song written by then the author,
furthermore if he went to my website,he would see I had a book of self penned songs available for purchase,and he could listen to recordings of my singing and playing.
Now I dont need to play his club so I can speak my mind.http://www.dickmiles.com
