I wouldn't count on the organisation doing all the necessary publicity. They probably won't know how to circulate information in the folk music community; it's worth doing that yourself with a few cheap fliers and email advertising on relevant lists and sites.

A few years ago, the Lewes Saturday Folk Club put on an all-day workshop and evening performance by Alistair Anderson; both events sold out. About ten days later a Brighton Arts Centre put on a concert with Alistair and Newcastle folk degree students: they sold about a dozen tickets. This was purely because the arts centre didn't know how to reach the folk music community; the concert was sufficiently different from Alistair's solo performance not to have competed with it.

Our workshops are probably more specific than the sort of presentation you are contemplating, but you'll find examples of booking forms and content on our website if that would be helpful.
