		She is the daughter of folk singers Martin Carthy MBE and Norma Waterson MBE, known as the 'Royal Family' of folk.
		Folk singers and musicians are certainly anything but and at Warwick last weekend I spoke to many of them in or out of the bars, including Les Barker who I told looked completely knackered.
		I love folk music but people are too precious about somethings, I feel if folk music is to become an even greater commodity it has to change to suit people who might not be coming to folk music and push it towards them.

	Folk clubs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Folk clubs (as distinct from American folk-music nightclubs) were primarily an urban phenomenon of 1960s and 1970s Britain.

	Folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pattern of urban influence on folk music was intensified to outright destruction as soon as the capitalist economic system had developed to the point that music could be packaged and distributed for the purpose of earning a profit--in other words, when popular music was born.
		Folk music is easily identified with the ordinary working people who created it, and preserving treasured things against the claimed relentless encroachments of capitalism is likewise a goal of many politically progressive people.
		Folk music is still extremely popular among some audiences today, with folk music clubs meeting to share traditional-style songs, and there are major folk music festivals in many countries, eg the Port Fairy Folk Festival is a major annual event in Australia attracting top international folk performers as well as many local artists.

		Both are veterans of the folk circuit, though I have to confess not having heard of either of them before, but recognising the names of some of the bands they work and have worked with, like The Mellstock Band.

	SRFN Folk Directory - Clubs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Like pub sessions, folk clubs usually meet in pubs, but clubs typically use a separate room (still within easy reach of the bar), and may encourage "singarounds" during which individuals take it in turn to perform their favourite songs and tunes.
		Consequently, clubs offer an excellent venue for new performers to hone their art, and for established performers to present new, much-loved, or experimental work to a generally informed audience, who get the chance to hear a wide variety of styles and material in a friendly and intimate setting.
		We also maintain extensive listings for pub sessions and folk arts venues, as well as a folk calendar showing who is meeting on any given day of the week or month.

	Folk Music History Outline
		Folk music gave rock content and lyrical depth while rock breathed new life into folk music, and provided a musical dynamism that took it to new and larger audiences.
		Folk music and the organized workers’ movement never acquired the organic connection envisioned by the left, and while a real link between many folk music artists and an array of social movements has existed and continues to exist, folk music also has evolved into the minor leagues of the pop music industry.
		Folk music has become the official opposition of the mainstream of the popular music industry- in it but not of it.

	The Session: Discussions - Folk Clubs vis a vis Sessions
		Folk Clubs are there to book good folk groups, singers, songwriters, etc and to provide a concert venue for their wares.
		However, tune players will happily go along to a folk club if their band is either booked for the night, want to do a support spot or, perhaps, even if there's someone there they want to see.
		Folk clubs to see the odd band and do a floor spot (to gain experience in the performance and the talk to the audience), song sessions to listen for new songs and gain from the response of other singers but they do tend to be either chorus or singer song writer top heavy.

	About Folk Alliance Australia - Folk Alliance Australia
		Folk is a natural spontaneous and creative expression of and from community life.
		In the past the Australian Folk Trust formed the peak body for folk in Australia, however, as a result of changes in funding and representation this organisation was disbanded in 1995.
		We believe that the folk arts are a vital social adhesive and have the capacity to heal the social dislocation that can undermine community life.

	C1970 How many folk clubs in England?
		It is very similar to the folk club movement back then, and in common with it, seems to have grown up very rapidly, and without any sort of central organisation, but by a form of 'osmosis'.
		As for numbers of folk clubs in 1970, this is an interesting one - there seem to be lots of ballpark figures thrown around for the early 1960s but as the numbers increased and clubs opened and closed with rapid turnover I suppose it was harder to keep track of the figures.
		I basically left the folk clubs in the late 60's, and tried to harden off folk msuic be replanting it in the wild: with varying degrees of success.

		Since 1999, Frank Shane of Folk Music Archives has been recording folk artists and folk groups to preserve and archive their personal stories, backgrounds and recollections.
		They are recorded not only for archival preservation, but will enable the public and the folk community to have access to these recordings: folk archivists, folklorists, performers, broadcast media, folk organizations, folk societies, museums, folk clubs, festivals, managers, agents, venues, record companies, instrument manufacturers, arts administrators, well-known folk singers and front-porch folk singers.
		In addition, Folk Music Archives creates a voice data base of each interview which is segmented and put on a computer archive system to enable the retrieval of not only interview recordings, but the retrieval of subject matter of one folk artist or all recorded folk artists.

	BBC - BBC Four - Have Your Say \| Folk Clubs
		It was a quiet night at the club and I sat on edge of the basic stage as Paxton performed to the unusually small audience.
		When the club was full I could come in, raise my hand at the door and wave, and by the time I made it through to the bar my usual poison was standing ready.
		But it was also a great club for old-fashioned music, and I think my favourite was Gordon Hall, a powerful singer from Horsham who could sing a big ballad in a way that nailed you to the wall and really made you listen.

	Themed folk
		Smaller clubs with a loyal and regular audience are particularly suitable for this approach because they can announce forthcoming themes during regular club nights.
		Larger clubs which rely on big-name guest performers and attract most of their audiences by advertising the guest's appearance are less likely to find themed nights a viable option, although some have bravely promoted themes around the style or musical genre of the star guest.
		In clubs where a particular instrument is especially favoured, an evening without that instrument can be a welcome change and bring out more variety than usual.
