well folk music isn't all crochets and quavers, its people...

and some very weird buggers frequently turned up.

There was Mike (spoons) Sealey in the folk clubs of Exeter and Exmouth.

There was a bloke called Nail at Andy Caven's club in Walsall.

I think they would have fitted in better with folk clubs nowadays. I popped into a folk club tonite but they were all involved in playing a dismal folk dance tune - all the violins out of tune.

In a way, the weirdoes have finally won. Mike and Nail would have fitted in well with that lot.
