I am helping out organise a folk festival, (see embryonic Folk Festival thread) It occured to me that I might as well ask all you 'catters, as a means of market research, what do you most want and not want from a festival. Do you prefer organised concerts, folk club style events, singarounds, musoc sessions.... and which, English Irish or mixed. Ceilidhs, workshops - and if workshops, what kind?
Dance craft song mausic particular instruments etc.
I know this is a broad spectrum question, and you can never please all of the people all of the time but........ it would be good to know that by doing a bit of research we can please some of the people some of the time! Are there any guests you would really like to see?
etc.
Thank you for taking the time to answer (if you do) and I look forward to your responses with interest!
Cheers, Lucy
