Thread Name: Are clubs favouring Singer/Songwriters
Subject: RE: Are clubs favouring Singer/Songwriters
Pete,
Her's a breakdown of what I have booked at KFFC since we started 2.5 years ago (including to the end of this year). You'll see we don't favour singer/ songwriter (but we don't exclude them either).
I've tried to categorise but alot of acts do play a mixture and ...... and tell Paul to get in touch with me for a possible booking next year!
Traditional only 22.73%
Mixed traditional and written "traditional" style 41.82%
Self penned/ written but "traditional" style 14.55%
Contemporary folk singer/ songwriter 16.36%
Pop/ Rock/ Country 1.82%
Trad Jazz 0.91%
That's from a total of 110 sets from 78 acts and includes our "mini-fests" (i.e a few acts have been booked twice or more).
p.s. BBTP are probably not getting bookings because they're not asking for them. We're only 35 miles up the road and he has not asked me!
