Thread Name: GEFF and Proud of it
Subject: RE: Folklore: GEFF and Proud of it
Someone earlier was asking for 'evidence' that some clubs are less than perfect. Rather than write it all out again, I've mentioned one painful experience in this thread.
As to what am I doing; well, I've tried to support my local club (see thread above!), but I've also tried to encourage my local music venue to hold folk nights. To his credit Steve, the owner, is a keen folk fan and former morris dancer, but he just shakes his head "Call it a folk night and no-one will come - and those that do tend to be bloody awful," he says. "Believe me, I've tried!"
So now he has accoustic nights and open-mic evenings, at which anything goes, but no-one is allowed to use the F-word...
