Here's a question... How many folk clubs are there (In England specifically )and what's the average attendance? (And while we're at it - how long is this piece of string?) Unanwserable questions I know, but I ask because a friend of mine is trying to re-locate/revive a folk club and thought he had found an ideal venu in a local pub's function room. The landlord /tennant was keen(ish), but he reckoned without the brewery rep', who advised that "it wasn't in keeping with the breweries corporate image ". Personally I'd have thought that 20+ (?) or so "bums on seats", each buying a few quids worth of drinks would be what the corporation needed on a quiet weekday evening. But what do I know about these things? A few facts and figures (or best quesstimates from the assembled collective ) would be useful before writing to the brewey to point out the error of their ways
