Very good news, although it has taken a ridiculous route - and wasted a lot of parliamentary time - to arrive at this point. Congratulations to everybody who has campaigned on behalf of folk clubs. I shall certainly be out celebrating tonight!

11 o'clock is late enough for most folk clubs, especially in mid-week. I've often seen people slipping away in the second half - regardless of the guest! However, some clubs don't get going until 9 o'clock. Perhaps they could start a little earlier to meet the curfew of 11.
