We are ALL doing something to promote folk music, Bryan. You are doing it one way, other people would rather promote concerts and festivals. There is plenty of room for good clubs and there are plenty of good clubs about but there are are aslo plenty of poor performers who believe they are promoting folk as well. They are not. They are deluded to believe that reading obscure self penned dirges out of books and singing through their noses is entertaining for other people. But don't get me wrong, these people are entitled to perform somewhere. I have no right to stop them. All I am saying, and I think that others may be in agreement, is that they should be kept away from the general public.

Cheers

Dave
