Thread Name: the uk folk revival in 2019
Subject: RE: the uk folk revival in 2019
In the case of the Newcastle degree course I know for certain that they are taught the skills required to plan, organise, promote, run and bring to the public musical events. if that is the case why are so few newcastle degree leavers organising events or are they? and if so who are they and are they organising clubs or festivals?
There has been criticism of MacColl, but at least he tried to help others, gave up his time, organised a club, who of the elder statesmen of the revival are doing that now?
who of the younger professionals are doing that now?
if people do not organise events, one day festivals folk clubs, festivals, workshops, there will be nowhere to perform.
