Actually I went to see a young girl called Raevennan Husbandes. She's a singer/songwriter, and not particularly my cup of tea, but was at least as good as lots of other singer/songwriters - certainly no worse; and yet while lots of them do get folk club gigs it doesn't look as if she does. Now it may be that she hasn't tried; or it may be that club organisers have seen her and don't want to book her. But it did get me thinking how many more were out there.
