Subject: RE: Folking Live - 2010
In answer to both questions:
I believe the Wednesday Club is currently in talks about being taken over. I've spoken to a couple of people about it, however am unsure if the plans to carry it on were successful or not. It's not listed on the SHP website for the autumn season but that doesn't mean something isn't going ahead. My night and the Folk Club have collaborated in the past and we support each others events - however are kept fairly seperate, due more than anything to the different formats both events take.
Unsure about a club starting in a pub in Bracknell/Binfield - however hope that does happen as it'll be a welcome addition to the town. A friend of mine runs The Bull pub in Bracknell High Street and had a meeting with a guy looking to run something, however nothing has come of that yet.
And Yes - I am connected with Folking.com, as is the Folking Live show. Folking.com is currently going through a bit of a revamp, hence Darren Beech linking the site to the Myspace page for now. There are lots of plans in the pipeline to get it running in some capacity again - with the live events still being a strand of it.
