We would all like to be perfectionist however surely the idea of a folk club is to entertain and encourage people to enjoy folk music. If one is buying a ticket to see an artist you should expect a level of professionalism. I believe I can handle a guitar with some degree of skill, as for remembering words 'I cannot'. Practice before performing, yes i agree, but then some of us have nerves that seem to throw all practice skills out of the window when you are on the stage. I know I have been suffering from them for over 40 years of playing music.
