I then called a production company explaining what I received and they are going to give her a look. So as you can see things can still happen even though we didn't book her

Excellent - keep up the good work.

When a club or festival doesn't want an act because they wouldn't really fit, one of the best things they can do is pass the enquiry (and demo CD if there was one) to someone else local who might be a better match. It's happened to me once or twice, and I know organisers who do it - I've passed on enquiries myself occasionally where appropriate.

This (the folk world) is a community, not a cut-throat competition.
