People might have noticed my recent thread about the Dylan night we held at Chorlton Folk Club.

Every Thursday around 9. 30
£1 on singers nights, of which we have many.
Southwest Manchester Cricket Club
Ellesmere Road
Off Wlibraham Road
Chorlton
Manchester

I know themed nights are a very old idea:
Shanty sessions, rural songs, industrial songs, Burns Nights .......

The Dylan night must have brought in around 5 times as many people as we generaly get and many, especialy young people, that we have never seen before. It was advertised through Chorlton Literary Festival so that realy did help.

Does anyone else have experience of really succesful themed nights?
