Subject: RE: Youth on Mudcat
I voluntarily went to a few folk clubs and folkie wine bars back in the 1970s when I was in my late teens.
Didn't take to them; at worst the happy clappy join in singalong socialising
reminded me too much of Sunday School and Boy Scouts,
which was alays a childhood threat that I might be forced to attend.

Yet I still developed a strong lifetime affinity for 'Trad' Folk LPs [later CDs]
and occasional concert performances.

Sorry, the cheery communal aspect of folk 'clubbing' culure is just not for me.

Dare I imagine most 21st Century Teenagers may experience a similar relationship with 'real' folk music ?
