Ah, but if they were real, would you join?

Imagine being able to go to a Folk club and know that you were not about to be asked to sit through

- self-indulgent singer-songwriter blues about life in Huddersfield
- a string of Herman's Hermits' greatest hits
- non-stop interminable indistinguishable Irish rigs and jeels
- bands with a complete disrespect and disdain for their audience

Well, that last was a festival concert not a club night - but you know the (rare) kind. We all have our pet peeves...what's left in the middle is folk music.
