Thread Name: Do purists really exist?
Subject: RE: Do purists really exist?
My point remains Dave a handfull of clubs does not make for a healthy scene
I've just given you my long-term view of what I believe needs to happen to keep folk song available for the future
The state of the clubs has been displayed perfectly by the suggestion that anybody expecting to here folk songs performed reasonably well at a folk song is a purist - your really can't say clearer than that
You and others have given excuses rather than reasons why the club scene has declined - we don't agree on that, but we do seem to agree that it has declined
A basis to start an intelligent and friendly argument before Jack's insulting rudeness becomes an infection
