Thanks Breezy for keeping going when all around you falter. I need Folk Clubs & I need sessions too. I thoroughly enjoy listening & music making in whatever environment & my life has expanded because of it. Thanks for pushing me.

Personally I like sessions coz I can sit in a pub with friends & friends I've only just met & share the music. I like 'F' clubs just as much (despite paying entrance) coz I can listen & learn & occasionally sing.

The 'F' word does scare / put off the 'younger' generation. I've been helping with a 'F' music workshop at a newish University for the past 6 years and we don't attract many students at all.

OK so maybe we're a bit blinkered by using the 'F' word, but we do what we enjoy. If someone brings another style into the workshop we'll work with that, hey it's all music - isn't it?

Good afternoon all :-)
