Is there such a thing as a directory of folk clubs and who organises them in the UK?

(it's also a directory of performers, dance teams and other folk organisations)

You should have a look at Mr Red's Mid West - more UK folk club and sessions than you can shake a stick at. You can reach it through Glosfolk at : http://www.glosfolk.org.uk/

Try a search on 'Guestlist' - run by Jim Hancock in North Lincs. Related to his 'Folktalk' magazine.
