Brendy,

I do spend rather a lot of time getting gigs for and attending gigs (and playing a bit too...yes even banjo players occasionally get paid gigs!) with my other half.

I am fully aware of the problems associated with some clubs and other venues....however if it was that terrible, and we weren't getting a lot of pleasure from it, we would find another way of making that part of our income.

Part of my motivation for starting
KFFC
was to try and do things differently in terms of marketing and to try and attract additional audience to "folk". Time will tell if this will work.
