"Real folk songs,presumably you mean songs that fitted the rules of the singers club"
No Dick - songs that in some way or other fitted the documented and long tested description of folk songs and weren't Urban Spaceman or September Song - in fact - what it said on the tin.

Plenty of Folk Clubs from the sixties through to the present day that in some way fitted the documentation and long tested description of folk songs in London and throughout the UK, Nobody took away your choice.
In fact one of the clubs that restricted choice of folk music was The Singers Club its rules were proscriptive, the dictionary definition of proscriptive is imposing restraint or restriction, thus restricting or taking away choice.
