Folk songs sung by classically trained singers sound fairly ridiculous. Lots of plummy voices and throaty tremelos. The only one I can bear is Kathlleen Ferrier singing Blaw the Wind Southerly and that is somewhat OTT.

Maybe folk clubs should be called acoustic clubs, but then some aren't. The people who run the clubs tend tp be tholder generation and are unlikely to book bands younger people are going to want to see, so they are mor likely to attend open mic nights.
