john in hull and I have come up between us with an idea on which we would like to get some feedback. It stemmed from john wanting to post a list of venues in Hull which support folk music, a commendable idea but as things are at present it would disappear into the Sargasso Sea of lost threads and all his efforts would be in vain.

So this is our suggestion to Max and the Joeclones. How about creating a new category called Fok Venues, which would allow all Mudcatters to post details of venues in their town which support folk music on a regular basis (different from the What's On permathread). This would not entail the administrative effort required to maintain a Permathread, and would be accessed simply by using "Folk Venues: WhichCity" in the Filter Box.

Is there any insuperable problem in instigating such a venture.? john and I both feel that over time this would become a unique and invaluable resource, especially for visitors.
