I am opening a Folk Roots and Accoustic Club in Hull shortly.
It will be at The Marlborough Club, Chanterlands Avenue, Hull.
every Thursday evening, starting on the 4th of September.
Its a good venue, with a good concert room with stage.
I have spoken privately to a few people that have kindly volounteered to get involved they are=
Bassic-He organised a music festival a few years ago.
Linda Kelly-Ran the Folk Club at Beverley Festival
Ossonflags-Has been involved with various clubs over the years.

Due to work commitments etc these people will not be there every week
The idea I have is that ALL singers and musicians and listeners will be welcome.Admission will be free to encourage people to go, but we might have a raffle to raise money to book acts, perhaps starting off with cheap local acts.
Stuff like this will be sorted out at the first night, I hate meetings and commitees and stuff, and would like to keep things informal, but perhaps a quick ideas session would be an idea, for people to give their ideas?

The landlord [Chris] is easy going and supports live music and books acts, he has given us the room for free.
I have found the venue, and intend to promote it,
but the format and music depends really on who turns up,
though everyone will get a chance, and beginers wether singers or musiciasns will be encouraged.
Hopefully see you all there!
