I was complementing Lewes Folk Club policy re. welcoming all floor singers. I don't honestly think all clubs in our area welcome all floor singers - do you?

Every folk club is run in exactly the same way - however the organisers want to run it. As a result, every folk club is different, hence my comment about there being 400 types of club which may or may not fit into three broad categories. Every club is independant; they aren't franchised. You can't buy a standard pack that tells you how to run a Type B Folk Club like you can for making your will, conveyancing your house sale or finalising your divorce.

You do it your own way. Twickfolk does it his way, you do it your way and all points in between and beyond. Everybody is right. This is a good thing because it appeals to a wider audience. The existence of one sort of club has no detrimental effect on any other sort in fact, they are all necessary. All tastes are catered for. There is no problem here.
