Yes, I agree that there is a lot of "silly" posting about on a number of threads. However, a lot of the Punch the Horse and Hull/Beverley threads have been started with the initial aim of pubicising a live music event.

If you cast your minds back to last Spring/Summer when we ran endless PVFF threads to publicise our "let's do the show right here" folk festival in Beverley. That resulted in one of the best attended and most open festivals for many a year. The Hull/Beverley area is now one of the most vibrant folk environments around with sessions and booked acts on every night of the week.

Most of this has arisen through the womdeful medium of Mudcat and sometimes you just have to post something to a thread to get it back to the top of the list and into peoples eyeline again. It worked for me.
