Thread Name: The current state of folk music in UK
Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
Very good analogy, Observer. The thing is a sausage is composite and will often contain less than 50% meat. (32% is the legal minimum). I would hope a folk club contains more than 32% folk music but as long as it contains a substantial portion of folk music it is a folk club. What Jim has been saying is that there are folk clubs that contain no folk music at all. If that is the case I agree absolutely that it is wrong and something needs to be done. What we are having problems with is finding any such club.

Enjoy your festival and hoping that it contains more than 50% meat :-)
