"there is obviously an issue with the way that club is promoted. "
Only when the evenings produce nothing resembling folk songs - plenty of examples here of what I'm likely to find
As a catch-all designation 'folk' does fine when the basis of the venue us folk-based - doesn't mean eveything ha to conform to '54, as people have dishonestly suggested.
"how would YOU describe an event that contains a mix of traditional song, new songs in that style, contempory songs and folk/rock in a way that the public would understand?
Describe it just like that - it would be afr more honest than describing as just a folk club.
As far as I'm concerned, it would act as a cultural health warning - the folk-rock bit would be enough to send me scurrying.
Please don't ask me to do your publicity for you - you strike me as someone who wants confirmation of your opinions, not advice.
"I thought perhaps as we've never actually met, you may prefer Mr Carroll!"
Sorry - don't think that's accurate - the "Mr Carroll" bit came after I said I could't hear the words to your songs
I've asked you couple of times to lighten up.
Jim Carroll
