I am organising a Folk / Unplugged music day at The Plough, Ley Green, Hitchin, Herts, SG4 8LA.
Current target date is 2nd July 2011. This date is to be confirmed.
NB: All details are, at this stage, subject to change.
I'm looking for prospective performers - solo, duo, bands - and an audience! Anyone interested please contact me by email at rickcadger@gmail.com, or by Mudcat PM, or by posting in this thread.
I will post updates as arrangements become clearer.
Tentative details as follows:
PloughFolk 2011
11am - 11pm, Sat 2nd July 2011
The Plough is a small, traditional country pub with a history of involvement with music. Although the pub itself is small, it has a very large garden, a substantial car park and a large paved patio area which includes a permanent, raised, paved performance stage with built-in power. The Patio is equipped with a marquee to provide audiences with shelter during inclement weather. The stage area can also be covered against rain.
PloughFolk is a charity event. No fees paid. All performances and stewarding on a volunteer basis.
To facilitate quick turnaround between performances, and to minimise waiting times for players and audience, the following conditions will apply:
- Acoustic instruments only (with/without pickups). Exceptions, for electric bass or keyboards, if made at all, will be made at the organiser's reluctant discretion
- No backline amplification, only PA
- No full drum kits
The idea is walk on/walk off with no delays due to setting up of complicated gear
It is hoped to make this an annual event if successful.
The Venue and event
- Covered stage area
- Covered, paved audience area
- Ample parking
- Large garden
- 2 Bars
- Food
- Craft displays
- Morris dancing
More info to follow as details are clarified.
