Forget "folk club folk" - what I'd have hoped this could have been like was the kind of folk music-hall events I've seen at festivals such as Sidmouth, Whitby or Fylde, for example. Raucous and rowdy and energetic, with music and song to lift your heart and send you off into the night joyful.

This wasn't it. It wasn't within a million miles of what it could and should have been.
