Thread Name: Folk clubs in Kent
Subject: RE: Folk clubs in Kent
I seem to recall that the Deal folk club had an awayday to Faversham many years ago and it worked well. I think Faversham did a return visit. I'm not so sure if it would work now as the two dozen or so regulars would probably not wish to travel too far for their weekly folk session and Deal is handy for them. We usually have 3 singaround sessions a month so there is a bit of repetition but there is also a lot of variety which is why we've managed to keep audience figures up and keep going for the past 20yrs or so. What I like about the Deal singarounds is that you never know who is going to drop by and give us a few songs. If they've travelled far and are any good then we will usually let them finish off the evening which is a pretty good accolade.
