Thread Name: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
"It is only you that DEFINES folk music."
I don't define folk music - it is defined for me
I may be the only one here who accepts there is a definition - different matter altogether
Definitions are for communication - without them we would nt be able to communicate with one another - as is happening here
"I gone over the numerous reasons why it is no longer fit for purpose,"
Wrong again - you have given reasons why the existing one is inconvenient for your purpose, in which case, you need to sort out another one, otherwise discussion becomes pointless and putting a title to your music venue becomes a con (unless you call it a music club, which sounds about right)
"Your loss, completely."
No - your loss - it is your clubs that are fucked up - we have youingsters pouring into our music because they know what they are signing up for.
I know plenty about the UK scene because you people tell me by your attitude to the msusic you are supposed to be presenting
Yo apparently can't even keep enough bums on seats for the erzatz version
