Thread Name: Are folk clubs serving a purpose
Subject: RE: Are folk clubs serving a purpose
There is a Music club in Hawick once per month, Anything goes - the regulars sing their "folk" songs there are some that sing and play contemporary folk, there are many young folk that even bring their
rock band in. The important thing is that no-one is excluded and everyone is given a fair shot. BUT most important, is that whatever act went down best get to do the first half of the session the next month AND get the door money for doing it. It doesn't take a high I.Q
to work out that this is not only a showcase for the featured act but
brings in their pals who in turn spread the word etc etc.
