When I was younger I lived in London and frequently visited a small venue above a bar in Bayswater, a borough in west London. Usually we would go there to listen to Folk music: songs often complaining about the world we live in, criticising our Government or other country’s. The singers would perform their own self written songs or maybe more well known ones made famous by international artists. The venue was small, maybe the audience was 50-60 people. 

You could speak to the performers, give them your thoughts. The atmosphere was very intimate and warm. People who went there really cared about music. They weren’t interested in dancing: they wanted to hear the opinions of the singers. They would go there to express themselves and give vent to their feelings. It was like a huge family, empathizing with each other and the performers. It felt like you belonged.
