Subject: RE: It's why people DO go to 'folk clubs'
Just in case anyone fancies giving us a song or a tune...
I'll mention my local club HaverFolk
We meet most Wednesdays of the year in the function room at The White Horse pub, 118 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex (I'd better also say it's in England for our international readers).
It's mainly a singers' club and all styles and stages are welcome - whether you're a first-timer or a more seasoned performer who wants to polish up a complicated piece in front of a sympathetic audience who won't jeer if you fall flat on your face.
We have 12 guest nights a year: six of these slots are given to professional/semi-professional or damned good amateur guests and the other six to club members who are taking the next step up from floor spots or who are establishing themselves as performers.
We like to grow talent where we can and I'm pleased to say that two of the guest nights will be going newcomers to the scene.
If you're round our way on a Wednesday night, please drop by.
