We'll shake on that, Breedloveboy. As for the future of folk clubs, I too am concerned about that (indeed most of us here are, I think), for a number of reasons, and that is why I am trying to play an active role in the Folk21 initiative: Folk21 Website . Everyone is welcome to join their local "chapter" and do their bit. We are meeting with the EFDSS in a couple of weeks to take things forward.

If we're going down, it won't be without a fight.
