Subject: Is your folk club dieing
Well is it? and if so why??I've come across quite a few nostalgic threads lately and some that talk about how old we are getting, how most folkies are middle age plus and how it's hard to find singing sessions at festivals or at your local.Two years ago I travelled 5000 miles around the u.k and was surprised to find few really good folk clubs. No doubt you all have your favs I'm sure, but where are they.Most of the clubs were poorly attended and the level of performer was not at all good. Smokers filled the rooms, you bastards!! and talked through several of the performers sets. Hang on .. I seem to have answered my own question!
