I am sure it would survive with a few people playing in houses/barns/pubs because it did for thousands of years before folk clubs were invented. But we don't want it to just survive, we want it to flourish and to bring it to a bigger audience. That is where the youngsters come in. We have to face it, Dick, we are the old guard now. Our idea of a good time is not the same as a 20 year old's. While we enjoyed the folk clubs of the last revival, they may not. We need to hand the reins over to them. While keeping an eye on their driving of course ;-)
