14 Mar 01 - 04:05 PM (#417573) Subject: Where to sing in Virginia From: GUEST,synchronicity@supanet.com We are two "folkies" who are coming to Virginia on May 5th. We are spending the first few days in and around Williamsburg and then move towards the Shenandoah Valley on 10th May. We fly back to the U.K. on 13th May. We sing together as "Synchronicity" and wonder if there is anywhere where we might sing while we are over there. Has anyone any (helpful!) suggestions? John Eaves & Debbie Osborne |

14 Mar 01 - 04:32 PM (#417602) Subject: RE: Where to sing in Virginia From: Allan C. I presume you are talking about something other than open mike stuff. Charlottesville, Virginia has a couple of coffee shops that might be interested. However, because you are an "unknown entity" I can't imagine how you would go about talking your way into a gig there. The same could be said of Harrisonburg. Both places are "university towns" and have some venues. I wish I were in a position to promote you at those places; but cannot because I no longer live in the area. Perhaps Mrrzy, (a Virginia Mudcatter,) could be more helpful. You mention that you are folkies. What manner of folk music do you perform? |

I'm in Richmond, so I'm going to refer you to Mr. Page Wilson of Reckless Abandon, who does a wonderful show on the Public Radio station here. His site is pagewilson.com and e-mail is Page@PageWilson.com. Maybe he can help you out as far as finding a gig. I'll look for you in May. |

If those don't work out, at least stop by Rare Olde Times for a proper pint! Ed |

He's from Liverpool and may be delighted to give you an opportunity to play. Of course, you'll have to talk your way into it, but it occurs to me he may be receptive. Do you guys have any tapes or demos? |
