there are several things that are required now, one is that young performers are paid to run a guest booking folk club, perhaps the EFDSS should be allocating funds for this.
secondly,young performers should be running guest booking folk clubs , where people listen to the music, they should look back at the early days of the uk folk revival and start doing club swap and booking each other at their clubs. young people canotr expect other peop[lew to do all the work, IF they want a scene where there is a network of guest booking clubs , they have to put some work in , if they dont then the network of clubs will be gone
