Thread Name: A London Folk Event...C'mon!
Subject: A London Folk Event...opinions?
Hi all, just popping in with a cunning plan. If the idea was floated of a day of folk music at a certain chapel in London, featuring lots of wonderful artists (I mean people you might want to see and not just my mates from the pub), with mulled wine and mince pies (I'm thinking a December Sat or Sun), spots between the main acts for other folky musicians who have REAL jobs, profits to charity and a reasonable pre-pub/pre-kids' bedtime finish time (maybe 9pm?); what would be the general consensus? ie shall I really go for it, do you think people'd come, and do you think the Londoners'd sing along? Do you think I could get lots of South-East folk clubs involved? Opinions and ideas please, I just think winter's always a bit of a comedown after a summer of festivals... I have visions of a warm haven from the cold, with music and joy and foot-tapping!
