Thread Name: Does anyone really like folk clubs?
Subject: RE: Does anyone really like folk clubs?
I used to MC in a couple of clubs in the Stourbridge area of the west Midlands. There were three or four clubs in the area at the time and when the timing was right I could do three or four clubs in the same week. Now I'm in Shropshire, playing and singing in sessions rather than clubs and I really miss the floor spots done by local singers, the banter with the crowd and the atmosphere of a folk club. Sessions are so different where its a question of playing or singing rather than performing. In answer to the question: Yes,I do!More folk clubs please!
