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
