Subject: RE: Tenterden Folk Festival, 5-7 Oct, 2007
I gather that the Woolpack will be the venue from November for the monthly ( second Tuesday) folk club and the centre for sing-arounds next year- it's a licensing thing. I agrre with the postings about the Vine- it was a manager who's only just taken over and was committed to the festival by the brewery/ previous manager. Apparently he took over £10 000 in the weekend (?) He previously had been listening to complaints by a family of diners who wanted the piped music on (in the far room) when the (second Tiesday) folk club was in the front. Not a fan. The angles are all wrong for attention, though there were 50 people in the small area- we had 28 singers at lunchtime sat and similar in the evening. It's always been the case at Tenterden that where a session is full, some drift off to start another, and very healthy this is too... so it's the Woolpack from now on...
