It sounds to me like much of the disagreement it is rooted in the fact that different people & cultures have different definitions of "folk club" and "audience." Both words have degrees of meaning depending on context. So it looks to me as if all the nyich nyich will continue ad infinitum, or at least ad definitum (hmm, is that a word?). Thanks to those who explained to which situation their view applies. The OP didn't describe what context s/he had in mind for "folk club," giving plenty of room for argument over I-can't-tell-exactly-what. Interesting reading, when the discussion isn't going in circles.
