Subject: RE: The Seven Stars Sessions - Kent U.K
Re the above posting from woodeneye: I have never been to Blackheath Folk Club, but I hear it has P.A. to bring the sound up above the general noise level. I suppose it's why the keyboarders thought they would turn up there. Honestly though, do they need to be mob handed?
My attitude would be the same. You can't go disrupting the furniture, and you shouldn't be playing loud synthetic music in a Folk Club situation like the Seven Stars. I hope that the action that I have taken this morning returns the session to what it was, which was always a mixture of genres, but with the emphasis on Folk. Sometimes it's hard to see where the line is. Dylan / Denver/ Ray Davis/ Woody Guthrie etc are performed in most of our local clubs, and often by the people who play at Crayside.
