Hard work and very difficult for newcomers to make a living from Folk music unless you have talent and are able to offer a number of strings for your bow ~ be a multi talented person and prepared to travel any where anytime any place ~ I would cite the likes of Flossie Malavialle and Matt Quinn and Pete Coe

There seem to be a number of ways that people can be successful ~ really good luck to them ~ but I would ask on what basis could or should people running a club and be supportive also be a presumed audience member and for go his/her usual night of singing/playing? This is down to personal preference, funds and inclination, is it not?
