As if we didn't have enough aggro with the BNP threads, but here goes anyway...

Have there been instances of Scientologists trying to recruit through the folk scene, or otherwise exploit it?

What put this in my mind is that there is a folk club meeting in East Grinstead, which has the UK headquarters of of Scientology, and also home to ARC, the world music record label they run.   I wouldn't feel happy about going to a folk club that was basically a Scientology front.
