Thread Name: Running a session, advice please
Subject: Running a session, advice please
Hi, I'm trying to start a folk session from scratch in the Loddon area of Norfolk playing mainly tunes in a Pub. I've no-one to play yet and no Pub to play in. I'm looking at putting up posters and advertising in the Parish mag to raise aewareness and find other musicians. Has anybody any advice on the best way to make this work. The two things that most tax me are; Do I advertise "beginners welcome" to start off with or try to limit to musicians who can play reasonably well to start off with (Hopefully not too much better than me). This will hopefully get us sounding reasonable earlier on. Secondly, do I try and find a plug to play in straight off, or again do I hire somewhere for a few weeks while we sort ourselves out. (My way of thinking, don't want to get banned from every pub in the area). Any other words of knowledge also welcome.
