It's not about the size of the conurbation but the will to make something happen, publicity and a group of like minded people. Oh, and finding a viable venue and a big slice of luck.

............Kirkby Fleetham has a population of 250!

We specialise in importing audiences from elsewhere though.....B & B with the the club regulars anyone? Plenty of van space too.

Snail, I salute your promotion of youth.....do you have many youngsters (under 45 (well I am 43!)) as audience? We are starting to get a few but I'm looking for tips to attract more.

Top "youngster" tip for today.....Kathryn Davidson & Dan Walsh, stunning singing from Kat and virtuoso banjo and guitar playing from Dan......they are on at Broadstairs Folk Week if you are going, definitely worth catching. Still on KFFC Myspace as well if you want a listen.
