'one minute you are saying all is well, the next you are givig a string of illogical excuses' Jim Carroll
You are welcome to hold that opinion. Nobody NOBODY has disagreed with you that there are fewer folk clubs. We have ALL stated that there are numerous other outlets for folk music nowadays and that in our own separate areas and experiences the scene in the UK is healthy in our opinions ON THE SPOT not a few hundred miles away. There is absolutely plenty of traditional British music being played, and plenty of music that MacColl would approve of in addition.

We are in OUR opinions giving lots of valid reasons for fewer folk clubs. They are NOT excuses, never mind illogical excuses. Perhaps you'd like to analyse those reasons and tell us why you think they are 'illogical excuses'.
