have they taken over?
folk clubs are pretty much as they have always been. i've been around folk clubs since 1964 and last week at the sailors return weymouth i heard many of the trad songs that i heard back then.

the fact is the price of petrol and beer went up; you got middle aged and then old and you can't be arsed to get up from in front of the telly; the artists you used to like are either dead or retired, or have lost their edge - like you - they're no longer young.

Stop giving rein to all that nastiness.
