Thread Name: Booking Folk Gigs. Some suggestions.
Subject: RE: Booking Folk Gigs. Some suggestions.
Some of the talk of club and festival booking policies reminds me of Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles talking about his family's emigration west,not being allowed in the regular wagon train. "They wouldn't let us circle our wagon with theirs, so we made our own." Maybe that's something that needs to be done in the folk world. I've attempted to not divide the trad vs contemporary argument for the last few years to whoever would listen and the gap seems to be widening. I thought there was room for all types of music, am I wrong?
