Thread Name: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
I think the ref ought to blow his whistle and end the game


I have had the pleasure of C R visitng one of my clubs, it was the Spotlight in St Albans, giving 'new faces'a chance.

I have also guested at the Villan's club and was warmly received

I have seen and heard John Blanks and he even travelled to St Albans and spotlighted as have Sooz and mike D and very good evenings they gave us and for very little remuneration

If more 'named' atristes were to expect more realistic fees and thus promote their musisc then maybe the folk club scene would thrive.

Folk clubs are alive, but there are very few organisers on mudcat to give this thread credence

Please let us return to the topic and put aside the discussion that has dominated


btw

The windward experience in St aLbans next meets on Sunday 20th May at the Rose and crown, with residents papag, fleggy, moses ref and me, there is no charge but we do hold a raffle in aid of leukaemia busters

O H shit, a high jack , well ould habits die hard, and my autumn tour, entitled, 'Here's to the power of song' starts on sunday 9th September at Folk on the moor.

Bishop Stortford the following Thursday
