Subject: RE: Bideford Festival bites the dust
Don't mention the Olympics. I am convinced that Folk Clubs are struggling, not just because of the financial climate, but because there is too much sport on T V ! Orpington is just outside South East London, where some of the Olympics will take place. I'm dreading it, and Orpington Friday Folk (average audience 3 ) will close at end of May 2012, before it all starts up.It would close sooner, but for bookings already made for 2012, which I will honour.
