Two groups of people were of particular importance to the vibrance of the uk folk club revival, the organisers, and the professional perfomers who gave up their time to travel the length and breadth of the uks and who were the backbone of the folk club revival
Professional performers like Alex Campbell and Ewan MacColl whose presentation and audience skills filled folk clubs.
WITHOUT THE EFFORTS OF THE ORGANISERS AND THE PROFESSIONALS WHO MADE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE ON A NATIONAL BASIS....there would not have been the same volume of clubs available for semi pro performers and amateur floor singers.
I have been and still am an organiser and a singer available on professional basis, by that i mean available nationally on a full time basis
in my opinion The importance of the organisers and the full time singer, is on occasions forgotten, without those two groups the uk folk club revival would not have been as strong or as widespread as it was
