Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
As club organiser, soon former organiser - my considerations were as follows

Find residents and like minded individuals

raise capital

via singarounds

launch an admission charge club

Now I had to consider who of the singaround members i could ask to perform in front of a paying public, as some would win audience approval while some would sent them to the bar or home.

then book artisites who would not bankrupt the club by demanding too high fees

Give value for money

Develop and encourage the residents to become gigging performers who become so busy the can no longer trun up at the club



Quit while ahead!

start again !!
