Subject: RE: folk outside of clubs and festivals
I'm just about to start running an acoustic night at The Raggalds Inn near Queensbury in West Yorkshire on Fridays starting in the New Year - it will be interesting to see if that proves to be sustainable given that it is quite a remote location.

My intention is to have the best quality acts I can afford with the budget I have been given by the landlord as I believe only by keeping quality at a high level can you hope to keep people's interest. I think this is where some folk clubs struggle as quality can be variable to say the least. I would rather have someone good appear several times over a season than compromise on quality just to have a different artist every week.

I will let people know how it goes!
