That looks really sad.

Perhaps we should be looking at Festivals rather than clubs. (How many "pop" fans go to "pop" clubs?)

In fact there has been a very comprehensive survey done on folk festivals see........http://www.afouk.org/advocacy.htm

which gives the lie to the stereotype.

Read and inwardly digest. Folk is cool amongst the young..........folk clubs aren't.

Discussion on the why's and wherefore's of this very welcome.
