Peter Stockport Attracting Young Folk to Folk (50) RE: Attracting Young Folk to Folk 15 Nov 09


There's a folk club in Manchester where no one is over 30.
Room full of people, about 60 people.
And no grey hair, it's at the Bay Horse and was previously at Teacup.
When I went a few weeks ago Ember were booked and it was a great night.
I was the oldest there and felt a bit like everyones Dad. I'm just 50.
It's run by people who look like they are about 20. So it attracts a young enthusiastic audience, it's the future and I've tasted it.
Lets face it folk clubs run by old people are boring for young people.
