Hi

I agree with most of what has been contributed above.

Folk clubs are changing from when I used to run them in the late 60's and 70's.

Why should we be surprised at this???

It has happened to other forms of music. Dance halls for instance. In my town years ago there used to be two large ballrooms and a few smaller places that ran ballroom dances.

You could go to a dance every night of the week and many people did.

Now we have none !! The Civic Centre does run the odd dance but they are few and far between.

TV in the form of Strictly Come Dancing has caused a small interest but is is very small compared with the heydays years ago.

Folk have changed and will continue to do so....and so will Folk music and how and where it is presented.

Cheers
