It's not easy selling folk music.

But it is possible.

But you have to acknowledge that the audience and things around it change, and you have to change with it.

We book some big guns...Martin Carthy, Tim Laycock, Paul Downes, Boo Hewerdine, etc.

And yet we also have "club nights". Last night was just such a night, with Derek Burgess, Simon Hopper, Mummers, Carols, etc etc, and we had a lovely audience of 60 people. You can't drag them along- they have to want to come. And that's down to how you sell the thing!

Nothing is free....NOTHING!
