19 Aug 09 - 09:13 AM (#2703772) Subject: RE: New monthly folk gigs in Leicester From: JeremyRS Pete does indeed, and John and Barry and Jim are in, others not yet. The Musician is indeed a fine venue but you're right Acorn4, it's known primarily for other genres. It's had some folk gigs but not consistently and certainly not most of the artists I'll be putting on so hopefully people will get into the habit of both coming out and wanting to play there. |

Hope to see you in December, perhaps before. |
