Thread Name: Finding 'Folk Clubs'
Subject: RE: Finding 'Folk Clubs'
Hi Being a folk club organiser (SWAN FOLK The Swan in the Rushes Loughborough Leics. England-plug over)I see the problem from another side, namely-how do we advertise our presence. If people are still asking where to get their fill of folk music,despite having been in existence in three venues within a few miles for the past 10 years and having advertised on local radio, gig lists on TV, posters in the pubs, the pubs own features sheets, posters in libraries, mentions in local folk club info sheets and periodic mail shots Oh! I forgot,in the local newspapers gig list and folk column when they can be bothered to do one (sorry another hobby horse)we still get people saying Oh! I didn't know you were here!! I do find it frustrating having people looking for folk music and not being able to find it especially when we are willing and able to fulfill some of the needs -if only they could find us. Anyway good hunting folks and if you are in Loughborough check our running nights -alt Sundays do give me a call to check when (second plug over)01664 569224
