My Folk roots go back to Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A. in the 60's, and The Yellow Door Coffeehouse in Montreal. I saw this link, so I've sent a Friend Req. to as many on this thread as I could find. While what you'll hear on my myspace profile isn't exactly what you'd call Folk, there's a soft spot in my heart for the art form...Wish everybody well, and I hope this connection will help get your music heard by the world, which, as you begin to explore myspace...Is a BIG place...Cheers...bob http://www.myspace.com/bobryszkiewicz |

08 Jan 08 - 04:16 AM (#2230926) Subject: RE: MySpace From: the lemonade lady Hey, Mole Catcher, Mr. K is busy it's true, and as he's been around before the age of Myspace he doesn't feel the need for one I suppose, but Benji has one and I dare say his other kids do too if we look; Face Book (hawk spit) as well I think. My question is...Are we all part of a big Myspace family? Aren't we performers looking for places to strut our stuff? Can we not help each other find places to do just that? What are we actually here for? We keep advertising on each other's pages but does it get us anywhere? According to the comments on my page, for instance, I'm not half bad but when I ask festival Myspace members to consider me, I get no response at all apart from an automated message which shows they didn't actually look at my page but just clicked "approve" when asked to be a friend. The folk clubs have been helpful tho, cos I think they are run by like minded, thinking people. So my question is... Does Myspace work for the performer? Could we have a Myspace UK gathering like www.mudcat.org when we meet up at fests? I'm told that there is a Myspace concert at Fylde Fest. Sal |

08 Jan 08 - 09:59 AM (#2231113) Subject: RE: MySpace From: stallion Weeeell, I look at them all I don't approve them all but I am not so good with it so haven't really got the hang of sending messages. I totally agree with sal on the gig business but I do understand that bums on seats what's counts and someone without a track record is not guaranteed to do that so there is no alternative other than to build it unless your surname is Copper or Waterson and then you do get a leg up but then pedigree will out and they do not disappoint, haven't heard of a son of milk cart horse running in the Derby but some pop star had a £3000 horse run in the guineas, might even have won it. The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary but it would be nice to be invited to some different places, go on, go on, go on, take a risk, go on, go on. Peter |

08 Jan 08 - 10:53 AM (#2231150) Subject: RE: MySpace From: stallion Ah Paulo of the pig skin and strings, you are of course right about KFC (it's finger pickin good) really lookin forward to it but you already knew us ( not in the biblical sense, for all the people who might wonder!) maybe myspace might open it up, having said that our cd took just over three hours to record and about eight hours to clean up and is, to all intents and purposes, a live recording in a studio warts and all so what you hear is what you get, more or less. Some people take weeks to edit and chew them about, I think there are some excellent pieces of work about but ours was only intended as a snapshot of what we were doing at the time. So how reliable can the recordings on myspace be as an indicator of a live performance, I actually think we come over better live but then it is because I enjoy it more. See ya soon cheers Pete |

08 Jan 08 - 11:08 AM (#2231163) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Banjiman In all seriousness, Sal does make some points. MySpace (and to some extent Mudcat) has been an excellent way of; a/ Making contact with people to arrange Gigs for Wendy (Arrowsmith-it helps that the product is good. Bias, me?) and b/ Acts making contact with me for bookings at KFFC. I have booked some act (e.g. The Hut People) on the strength of what I've heard on MySpace. In terms of getting gigs....most (but not all...you know who you are!) folk club organisers are pretty good at responding (even if to say no!). The same is true of multi act "acoustic night" organisers...and pubs who promote their own folk music gigs. In my (admittedly limited) experience festival organisers are far, far worse at responding (even to say no!) however they are contacted...it's not unique to MySpace. Paul |

Of the other six festivals I contacted in December. I've not heard anything. I think December is too late. Of the return envelopes I sent with the Cd etc. None have been returned.

08 Jan 08 - 01:25 PM (#2231264) Subject: RE: MySpace From: GUEST,Bob Ryszkiewicz Hi Kids: From my viewpoint, myspace teaches us, or rather inspires us, to break free of limitations. With 7,000,000 bands and counting, 218,310,249 people in the network and counting, there is little point in waiting for something to happen. It's D.I.Y. "do it yourself"... What if , for example, there were a university in Texas, willing to have authentic music from the U.K. as part of the curriculum? And say, 4 or 5 acts could present a "Mini Folk Festival?" Would you go? Would you be willing to do the organizational work necessary to contact that university, or group of high schools in Texas and tell them you will do the most authentic U.K. music show they will ever see? Just by being yourselves. Do you have what it takes to INITIATE that action? Are you a DOER? I see little point in clamouring for gigs in the same locale and doing what is comfortable and familiar. The whole POINT of myspace is to broaden your horizons. And it is Y.O.U. that must do the WORK to put it together, as staring at a computer screen waiting for something to happen won't do it. What if there is a film being shot, by an unknown, highly creative filmmaker that could really use the songs you sing? How do you find each other? The answer lies in being pro-active, by having faith that what you do is worthwhile, and by REACHING OUT. And I don't mean a cursory mouseclick to approve a friend req. from someone you don't even know, Or, whose genre of music you might not even LIKE. Your success as artists is limited only by your imagination. Not only in the music you perform, but in new creative ways to get it to new audiences. And isn't that just about the same as the folksingers of old did with what they had? What would they have done, having the luxury of the internet? They would not have sat on their hands and wait for somebody to gimme. The potential of myspace is unlimited, and yet it is but one tool. But WHAT a tool! The same process is in effect when you couldn't find employment. What to do? Start your own business! And they don't call it show BUSINESS for nothing... This is why, after sending in excess of 30,000 emails, having 19,711 profile views, 15,743 plays, and 8931 friends(God Bless 'em, each and every one. Thanks) I am currently working on producing my own film. You will see my album, "The Ghost of Elvis"(Happy Birthday Elvis, Jan. 8) on Amazon.com, iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, Sony Connect, Napster, GroupieTunes and Virgin Digital. With a new one in the works... Friends, the music industry is changing right under your feet. The time is now. What will you do? Be your own festival. Be your own folk club. Be your own best friend and promote yourselves in new, creative ways.. Bless... bob |

08 Jan 08 - 01:39 PM (#2231279) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Fidjit Right Bob its a tool use it. I find it great to send around to everyone. Not just folk clubs and festivals. Better than a demo cd. And certainly cheaper. If they want to get in touch they will. We are at least out there. Chas |

DRAFT: University of North Texas Kelley Reese Director of University Relations and Communications ATTN: Faculty of Music email: kreese@unt.ed phone: (940) 565-3993 Dear Ms Reese: We are a group of Folk musicians based primarily in the U.K. and are members of a thread-generating forum called The Mudcat Cafe. Our backgrounds are as diverse as our music. We are making this exploratory contact with you to see if there is interest at The University of North Texas to have members of our group come to the U.S. to play in a festival-like atmosphere for the students. This will provide a once in a lifetime experience of authentic traditional music from the U.K. The students will be able to meet & greet the musicians as well as sing along. This will provide a wonderful opportunity for your music faculty to explore this historically rich music genre. Many of us have just begun to create profiles on myspace, and with your permission, we can email you some profiles for your consideration. If you are willing to begin a dialogue with our organization, we would be pleased to discuss funding and logistics. Thank You for taking the time to read this and we look forward to your response. Best Wishes, The Mudcat Organizing Committee... http://www.unt.edu/ Well Mudcatters, here we are at the crossroads, the place where fortune might favour the bold. Or you could choose the more comfortable path of familiarity, and return to the Pubs and Folk Clubs. And of course, continue focusing on what can't be done. For I guarantee you that if you do so, "that it can't be done" will be the outcome. Will you get turned down? Maybe. Or perhaps the lengendary British spirit of Richard the Lionhearted, Sir Lancelot, "Her Majesty's Secret Service", The Royal Navy, and all that is good that comes from Buckingham Palace will rise up within you, and you'll "give it a go..." This is about as much as I can do as I must continue with my projects. The rest is up for discussion between yourselves. It might take many tries. But. It is DO-able... Good Luck... bob Written in the spirit of love and respect, and hope that the world will get to hear your music...And I know it's none of my business, and I apologize for that... |

It also requires a great deal of work and know how. To even just begin to explore this single site (MySpace) it can easily take an enormous amount of time and energy out of a person's daily schedule and that's not even considering the many other sites there are out there to explore or how many more that may arise while you're looking around. The web is getting thick with them and each has the same potential to be a great stepping stone to establish yourself and your particular pursuit(s). I admire your very proactive approach. It takes vision and persistence in every field of endeavor in order to succeed in reaching the personal goals we each set for ourselves. All the best to you |

It's just that I've checked out a lot of these musicians and it would be a shame not to even try. And yes, it does take a lot of organization, work and tenacity. But did anything that was ever great come easy? If it did, everybody would be doing it. This is why the great ones are on the world stage, and the others are in the audience... bob |

Surely if December is too late for 2008 isn't it nice and early for 2009?? What do you think of this idea? Sal |

14 Jan 08 - 07:35 PM (#2236528) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Surreysinger The Wigmore FC sounds a good idea - but I wonder why she says there are no folk clubs in Herefordshire - the last I heard there was one in Much Marcle ,and certainly one in Ledbury - don't know about the rest of the county though!! |

15 Jan 08 - 04:01 PM (#2237199) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Brendy I've been looking around a few of the MySpace sites, above, and I notice that it is possible to make a site for Folk Clubs, and Festivals, etc. I have tried to sign up for a Folk Club/Festival site at MySpace, but only seem to get the option to sign up as a 'musician' or 'person' Since a Festival doesn't have a gender, etc, can anyone point me to how I can register as a Club? I've read through the online Help, but unless I'm totally missing something obvious, I can't find how one does this. B. |

15 Jan 08 - 04:15 PM (#2237211) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Banjiman Brendy, Just register as a musician, that way you can upload MP3s from your performers.......that is what most of us have done. Drop me a PM if you get stuck at all. Cheers Paul |

15 Jan 08 - 04:37 PM (#2237229) Subject: RE: MySpace From: RTim Hi All, I am trying to set up a site so I can list a few of my songs, etc. I have successfully set up the text info, but am having trouble adding my music. When I try and sign-up as a musician (having already set up a page without music) it asks me to input an e-mail adddres, then when I put mine in - it says its already used!! Do I have to scrap it all and start again - As a musician? Help! Tim Radford |

15 Jan 08 - 05:01 PM (#2237260) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Banjiman RTim, I found that never mind trying to scrap it, you need to set up a new email address or MySpace will not accept it. Paul |

15 Jan 08 - 06:26 PM (#2237317) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Fidjit Then you can ask them to scrap the first one, but that takes them ages to do chas |

15 Jan 08 - 07:31 PM (#2237348) Subject: RE: MySpace From: SouthernCelt If you want to keep both pages (I have two, one personal, one music) get a free e-mail address on Yahoo, Google or one of the other search engines that allows free sign-up, then use that as your primary e-mail for setting up the new page. That's the simplest thing to do. People who message you from the site will do so within MySpace and won't know your e-mail address unless you allow them to see it. SC |

16 Jan 08 - 01:05 PM (#2237789) Subject: RE: MySpace From: Surreysinger Yup - I'll agree to some of the above comments - you can't have two MySpace pages using the same email address - so I use my two freebies on hotmail and Yahoo for the purposes (two separate music accounts - one for me, and one set up for the new show ). I originally had a "vanilla" non-music space, and eventually got to transfer the email address across to the second music space (but only after the non-music one had been completely closed down) |

17 Jan 08 - 12:10 PM (#2238501) Subject: RE: MySpace From: GUEST,Bob Ryszkiewicz John down south: A bit of a guess on my part, but there should be a "rotate" function in the photo app. on your hard drive. Did you scan the photo? Maybe there. If you took the all digital route, go to the source and check the camera. The App in Mac is iPhoto. Test the Jpeg you create, to ensure it's upright, and upload to myspace. I don't think the problem is at myspace's end, but I'm not an expert... bob |

17 Jan 08 - 12:18 PM (#2238517) Subject: RE: MySpace From: GUEST,John Down South Bob, I will try your suggestion then. Delete existing photo. Go back to WINDOWS Imaging. Re-orientate photo. Up-load anew. I shall try right now. Many Thanks , John |
