Thread Name: Support your local Folk Club
Subject: RE: Obit: Support your local Folk Club
"I used to Tim, but my health and time no longer allow that."
(Yes I know I have sympathised often)
"I also asked for people to take over a thriving venue, before it became a concert venue, but like all things in life, nobody did."
( You did,and for the same reasons that I cannot attend the concerts very often I couldn't take that on either.)
"So what is your point"
(My point was that you run a concert venue and therefore the attendance should be high because you attract people who are "audience" oriented and they know by your reputation that the entertainment you provide will be worthwhile attending,but it is also the venue s of your type that Les In Chorlton was very mildly asking would encourage attebdance at,or at least mention the local folk clubs when they have their massive audiences captured as it were)
"and why make such an aresole comment."
(I didnt,you did that all on your own)
"I notice that a lot of people who used to get regular floorspots no longer come along, for the concerts, unless they are the support act. I wonder why that is?"
( I wouldn't know matey perhaps you should ask them b4 you give them a support slot next time?)
There are never enough singarounds to suite my requirements,and if there were I wouldn't be able to go to them for the same reasons we dont get out to Faldinworth.
