In fairness to the young Folk Generation, the best behaved was the youngest person at one of the clubs ,enthusiastic,played and sang brilliantly and if he is an example of the younger generation,bring some more in.It was the older musicians that were the problem ,artists that have been around years,who it would appear have forgotten the basic rules of politeness when someone is performing.Those who would complain the most if it happened to them whilst they were on stage.
Should we folkies have to rely on amplification to overcome background noise,I certainly do not think so,but is that the way Folk will have to be presented?
I hope not
