Well, it took a long time and a good few posts for the 1954 definition to rear its head, but well done, you got there.

The sad bit is that I have been going to folk clubs for 30 odd years and still find I am one of the youngest in the room. Yet go to a large folk festival such as Cambridge and I am one of the oldest in the ruddy audience. Methinks many yearn for a lost youth and think they will get it at these odd evenings we hold in spare rooms of pubs, just like we used to....

Or maybe Bridge has a point when he reckoned you could get laid all those years ago at a folk club and can't now... The quality of what you hear may have varied too...

Still enjoy them mind. Just not so easy to get friends excited by what is fast becoming self indulgence for an ageing few.
