I dont do nookings Wendy!

Graeme Knights packed out my folk club on his last visit, it cost me a bundle,



every member of the audience wanted a fiver to come


and another fiver to stay



When Graeme Knights sings everyone listens,

cos hes too loud to talk over.

its called having fun disofficianado and you too are a joke


stop press John Breeze at the Windward club St Albans,

Well I went to see Realtime last night at Cottingham live.


I have seen them twice before and really enjoyed them.

Last night was excellent. I was so impressed with their gig.

Realtime

Well worth booking.

No point in booking anyone if your audience doesn't know who they are.

Can you do enough publicity to tell your entire potential audience what these performers are like?

Hi H -fit linda would that be a Judy who used to be with J L and The Bad pennies by any chance?

Jack Campin is spot on. you can always have an unknown as long as you have a headline act to attract the punters, as long as the main act agrees , some dont like it in case they are upstaged !!

nice try Gerry

Hi Wendy

I think Pint&Dale might be a runner. Although from the other side of the water, they are very nice engaging people with a surprisingly English ring to some of their harmonies, and a good range of material.

William Pint plays one of the best guitars I have ever seen heard and held, a wonderful Goodall, and if you book them MAKE him bring a mandolin as well, he is pretty damn good on that too.

Felicia Dale is a very good hurdy-gurdy player.

They are plenty sophisticated enough for a sit-down theatre audience.

I can lend you a couple of CDs if you like.

You'd probably need to put some effort into the promotion as they seem to be less well known than they deserve. I think Jacey Bedford is their agent so she might be able to help on that side.
