In sympathy with Jim I have to say that a few years ago I visited a club in Leicestershire and at the end of the evening while chatting to the organiser he asked who our guest was on the following Sunday. When I told him John Kirkpatrick he said
"Oh yes, your club is a bit err, err (as if he couldn't bring himself to say the word traditional)
"Actually it's very err, err" I told him
"Yes, that doesn't go down here" he answered and since I had not heard a folk song (the Bushbury Mountain Daredevils had been the guests on the night and they only had two floor singers as support)all night in his club I was not particularly surprised.
The worst thing was that when Roy Harris rang me a few months later to ask if I could run him to the club as he was booked there and what was the club like, I had to relate the same story to him!
