Thread Name: Review: Julie Felix at Stourbridge Folk Club
Subject: RE: Review: Julie Felix at Stourbridge Folk Club
I strongly object to the tone of the original posting. I would love to support a new local folk club and think highly of Sunjay, but:-

1. I had never heard of this club before reading about it on this thread
2. I wouldn't want to hear Julie Felix
3. £10 is a lot to pay for an unknown/new setup in an unknown(to me) venue
4. I STILL can't find the information I'm looking for that might encourage me to go: this thread mentions singers' nights, and I can find the dates from the pub's website, but I'd like to know more. Surely one of the first and best ways to spread information about a new folk club is to set up a website, the address of which can be circulated so easily- on the Mudcat, for example?

When I Google 'Stourbridge Folk Club' it only brings up information about the pub where it's held; this sounds like the pub is a concert venue for folk events; not what I think of as a folk club.

Perhaps trying to get local folkies involved and finding out what they want, would be better than criticising after the event?
