I suggest some of these people go to a few folk clubs - theres a bit of banner waving for ones own view of what is folkmusic going on here.

I've been to three folk clubs this week and the words 'reality check' is looming ominously up before me.

Oh yeh, I forgot some of you don't go to folk clubs any more. Reality is so disappointing for the idealist.

Perhaps if you renamed the thread, songs we wish were being sung continually in folk clubs.
