This book contains stories of the folk club scene from the horse's mouth.

Having flicked through it, I would say that is true - from the performers point of view. The voices that are missing are the audiences, and there aren't many club organisers in there either.

Richard Hawley wrote the one page foreword. The book is over 400 pages long. I bet the Wiki doesn't tell you that Richard is a neighbour of Martin Simpson and produced his latest CD... and a friend of the author.
