Although I might defend the folk club scene, or at least the scene in which I am involved, let me also stress that in any given year I will take in as much folk music at festivals, concerts, mini concerts, Arts Centres (while they were open in the East Midlands),Village Ventures, workshops and sessions (some of which I have found far more insular than any folk club)as time and money will allow. Taking in anything from Rory McLeod to Jeff Wesley - but 99%of the time I know where I'll get most satisfaction hearing it.
