I think that it is 'hard to find'

OK, might need to know you want "folk" but is "folk" in some form or other hard to find in the UK?

I wouldn't have thought it was difficult to find a folk club of some sort. It might be a touch harder (although having found the folk club, you are on route to getting some leads) to find more specific events but I'm not always convinced all events wish to be sort of published "everywhere"...

...Now this bit may sound elitist but... while trying to be open, a session for example might fear opening the floodgates to every out of time bodhran basher and egg shaker in the area.
