A friend of mine has been organising house concerts, (only a few a year) for just over a year... they are wonderful..... where else can you get to watch the likes of Andy Irvine at close quarters, and wonder "how the hell does he get his fingers to move so fast?")... Unfortunatley they lost out on James Keelahan due to him having another commitment.. but later this year they'll have Jez Lowe...... for details of how they run their one look here..... it tells you what to expect and how much they charge etc.....

The first concert was by invitation, at each one they get you to fill in a visitors book... so now they have a growing list of people who ahve attended in the past.. so they can aim their advertising at people who are likely to be interested.....
