Thread Name: Can folk clubs get any better?
Subject: RE: Can folk clubs get any better?
Would it be rude of me to encourage more "ordinary" punters to express their views around what they want from a club especially those under 45.....if there are any out there? (Not to exclude anyones views.... very interested to hear from everyone).

Les, thanks for your input ........ I like the model you have and I can't wait to visit in November and see it in the flesh so to speak. I do want to try and keep the flexibility of booking lesser known (but high quality) acts as well as those who are more established. I guess that means it will be tougher to hit your heady attendance figures.....though that is the target.

NFA, you'll be pleased to know that I have just ordered 1100 flyers for our September event (£75!!!!!).....I've deliberately kept the word "folk" low key.... though it is in the small print! I've not tried to avoid the "F" word before, I'll see if it makes a difference. I'll be sorting out posters as well in the next few days.... and I've organised a ticket outlet in "Town" (The metropolis that is Northallerton!). Need to try and organise some radio coverage (not easy as we kind of fall between BBC Radio York and Tees).... any ideas?

By the way we do have a MySpace KFFC and a website (in need of slight updating)
KFFC website . I have an emailing list (about 120 contacts) and use MySpace pretty mercilessly..... ask my "friends"!

Thanks for all you input so far.....anyone else learning anything?

Cheers

Paul
