GUEST,Rafflesbear Folk Club Manners (1109* d) RE: Folk Club Manners 15 Nov 08


Why don't we do what they do in Golf !?

Every time someone performs at a folk club they are assessed for being able to remember the words without a prompt sheet, for being able to sing in tune, for being able to play without a capo, whether they write their own songs etc and then mark their card and issue them with a 'handicap' - a numerical value that is a universal measure of their ability

The folk clubs can then say - we are a ten and below club or we have a minimum standard of eighteen. They can use this in their advertising so that you know what you are going to get before you go and if your handicap is 25 you don't take your guitar with you if you are going to a club that is 20 or less !?

The existing method of going along to a folk club, deciding whether or not you like it and either going back or not seems very hit or miss in comparison

oh b*gger - I've just refreshed this thread
