So the shift is not necessarily away from folk clubs but from clubs booking traditional acts? Which could confirm just what I am saying, that the folk scene is not in decline but just evolving.

It is very unfair to say, as some have on here, that non trad acts are talentless navel gazers when we have such splendid singer songwriters as Anthony John Clark, Phil Hare and Pete Morton to name but 3 doing the rounds.
