Subject: RE: Where have the audiences gone?
The problem isn't with the music, it's the club part that doesn't appeal. Rachel Unthank seems to be filling the airwaves, festival and awards circuit with her brand of acoustic sexiness but as people are all too ready to tell us, it's probably not folk. Young people appear not to care - in considerable numbers. Why an under 25 would want to go into a folk club (present company and exemplars excepted) is all too obvious.
