Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
Hi Dick, as you know Billy and I ran folk clubs for *** years, always happy to put in cash if the door was not enough,ran a certain festival too. We love our local folk club in Wivenhoe, the organisers deserve our heartfelt thanks, ( saw Johnny Silvo last week) as do all club organisers.We also enjoy the folk club in Colchester at the St Mary's Art Centre, still a club although more a concert venue and a chance to see more expensive guests.
Our son is the manager of a new venue, in Bungay Suffolk,a theatre and community arts centre, fully staffed 7 days a week the folk events will hopefully be a sucess, and I am sure will feel like a community club.Long live folk music where ever it is, stop the nit picking countess and sing from the same song sheet!
