GUEST,Ewan Spawned a Monster

I don't think the three people he cited are exactly *telling him how his club should be run*

No, they are damning the whole folk club scene (with a few honourable exceptions) to Hell on the grounds that it is responsible for the negative public image of folk music expressed by Matthew Parris (although it now all turns out to be Alex Campbell's fault, apparently).

Good luck with your venture. You will probably need some help along the way so it pays to work out who to be nice to. You won't get a lot of help from the likes of Nigel Spencer, Captain Ginger or Diane Easby.

And try and read people's posts before replying to them.
