You've picked a fantastic bunch of artists there, I've seen most of them and they'd give an excellent evening at any club! Would love to be a fly on the wall but I hope that this will be well attended by Club organisers. I'm sure that any remaining showcase tickets will go like hot cakes!

This really does look like an excellent way of keeping the music live for Folk, well done you lot!
