Captain Swing:

I no longer play at folk clubs and prefer the open mic format. People play whatever they want in whatever style they choose. Traditional material sits happily with blues, rock, self-penned stuff, covers etc

Apart from the 'mic' thing (we hates 'em, precious) that sounds like our folk club - it's eclectic to a fault. As long as I'm not the only person doing traditional stuff I'm happy - hopefully we can inspire some of the singer/songwriter types to investigate some of that there 'folk' music.
