We use a United Reformed Church Hall for Ceilidhs. We don't have bar but we encourage people to bring a drink and a "picnic". The church is ok with this and it seems ok with the punters.

We have songs sessions on 1st & 3rd Tuesdays and tunes on 2nd & 4th in a local pub. We have celebrations - 6th anniversary of this and 7th anniversary of that. Although the pub does limited food it allows us to bring our own for these dos. Obviously nobody brings drink.

The songs and tunes people overlap and the Band comes out of the tunes sessions. I hope the Ceilidhs will bring people to the song and the tunes sessions but it hasn't done much so far.

Any ideas about drawing people from one kind of Folk activity to another?
