I think the idea is great. I'd suggest changing the "What's on" title of that Permathread to "Folk Venues/What's On?" and a listing could be included as you describe (by location) in one of the opening posts on the thread, perhaps in a chart form. Additions and corrections could be made by Bert after someone posts to the thread and the resulting post would be deleted when it was added. Additionally, the performances could be listed on the thread.

Check with Bert......Sounds like a great idea and not too hard. I'd hate to see yet another lost Permathread and your idea would round out the "Folk Venues/what's On?" thread to exactly what it should be and very easy to locate.
