Thread Name: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
Not me, Steve. I don't get out often and when the chance comes am picky. Favourite would be a session in the city. A more mixed affair with 50% tunes would be my next (and often only) option and it again give opportunities to join in a lot of the time and group participation is a lot to me.

The more formal folk club is to far down my own list for it to have happened in a long while. Nothing wrong with the city folk club but the last time I went there was several years ago when someone I first met in a Bangor session was the guest - he's very good but it was to say hello after several years as much as anything. In different circumstances I'd get out more.

I'm probably less concerned about standards than you. It's more a run eg. of Dulyn, etc. style singers (/songwriters) don't always appeal to my tastes.
