Thread Name: Starting a folk club
Subject: RE: Starting a folk club
I won't give you any advice as all clubs develop
on different lines. What I will do, is tell you what I have done   
for the past 18 years . We have had woefully bad patches at times
but,like the phoenix we've risen from the ashes and managed to carry on.

Put posters in shops , libraries, schools, and the leisure centre.

Written a report for two local newspapers after each meeting.

Made narrow car stickers for rear windows.

Sent information to major library data bases

Havn't booked many major guests. Until this year when I booked Archie Fisher who I was confident would be a success. He was.

Be all acoustic and don't have a bar in the room.

Welcomed most kinds of folk related music.Both Traditional and contemporary , classical guitar,Humerous songs, ragtime , occasional blues And Don't Forget To Make em LAUGH.
