Thread Name: Does your Folk Club pay for the venue?
Subject: RE: Does your Folk Club pay for the venue?
We have recently started up at the Seven Stars in Foots Cray, Sidcup on Monday evenings. Previously the pub was so poorly attended that the landlord chose to shut about 8.00pm
We play in the open bar and provide a reasonable number of performers and audience and are creating a positive atmosphere in the pub, it is noticeable that more drinkers have started appearing off the street since we started
We encourage our members to spend reasonably in the pub. I think if we used a function room it might be different
