Thread Name: Starting an acoustic song circle/session
Subject: RE: Starting an acoustic song circle/session
Excellent idea, and with pubs and clubs closing down in droves, many will welcome something that brings in extra revenue. I run a club here in Coseley West mids, which originally sprang up in an otherwise seeingly muscical desolate area, not only did it work but the then host opened a second club within a year and both still thriving under new hosts. One good Fol Mag I reccomend is Folk Monthly, loads of info on clubs all over the country, you can have a half page ad for just £8, or look up their site where you may be able to post a free listing. it's www.tradartsteam.co.uk, not too sure I put that right but just put a search in for Traditional Arts Team and you'll get it. There's usually lots of musicians around just hoping for va club to open, so get the word out there. Music shops ideal to advertise, try your local radio as well and many local newspapers have a free 'what's on' listing section. All good luck to you
