So? What's special about this?

Nobody else uses Mudcat as their personal billboard like that.


    Hi, Jack - we highly encourage people to post information about upcoming gigs. If people don't know about folk music performances, the music will die. If there's folk music happening anywhere, we want people to know about it.

Sorry, Jack, but they do, and I for one see no harm in it.

Good luck to you, Dick. I don't often agree with your postings but you do sterling work in the clubs.

One of the purposes of Mudcat is to promote and inform about coming events. I use it for that purpose myself. I see no reason why Jack should be challenging Dick for doing so. If an artist tries to help attendance at a promoter's event then they should be praised, not criticised. As a club and festival organiser, I was always pleased to see artists trying to spread the word about events that I was organising.

I'm fine with information on what's coming up.

If I post something myself I find there's not a lot of space in the title bar but I try to mention the location and date.

"Dublin - Teachers Club" would have been handy & maybe save JC from a wasted click & raised blood pressure.

More strength to your arm, Dick - have a good one.

I would welcome a "Gigs" section on Mudcat - akin to "Tech", where I could check where 'Catters and others were playing. Most of my gigs are private functions, so not needing advertising, but the odd gig post - such as Horsham Folk Club last night - would be useful.

Yes, if you're going to advertise a gig, you might as well tell us where it is. Parnell Square could be anywhere - Ireland, England, America, who knows?

Someone could always start a "what's on" thread by location US, Canada, UK, Ireland, whatever.
Might get a few ideas below.

I originally felt uncomfortable seeing threads about performers, but what better forum to advertise?
Helping people get attendance to their gigs and making them a few pennies is far more worthwhile than some of the bickering we see on threads here.
I say good luck to Dick, and more power to your elbow! and does it ever stop raining in B?al an D? Chab?

"Someone could always start a "what's on" thread by location US, Canada, UK, Ireland, whatever."

I think Bert tried to manage something along those lines here a while back. My own view is that they soon become virtually "unmaintainable".

Ah, I see it's still in the quicklinks this thread. Started further back than I thought btw. Time flies... And it was more for regular events by the looks of things.

Yes, I entirely agree with "Guest" above - pls remember this is a WORLD WIDE web site

There is absolutely no point in saying you are 'on' unless you say where !!
I once saw a post on here that said something like "the Rascals are at the red lion on Tues"
- so has anyone any idea how many red lions there are in any county let alone any country !!!

If you wish to inform then please do so!!

Good luck with the evening Dick. Hope its a great gig for you

I'm always posting what my bands are up to for public events as assuming someone out there might want to know or pass it on to others who might want to know!

"....the red lion on Tues"
Even worse when people refer to "the Lion" and after several questions you discover they meant the red\white\spotted\olde Lion ....!

I wanted to go to the G?il?n Singers Club a few years back, and there were four Mudcatters waiting there to meet me. I walked and walked and finally found the Teacher's Club, and I was directed to a room where there was a concert raising funds for Palestine. I figured that musc be the G?il?n, but I didn't meet any Mudcatters. Turns out, the G?il?n was in another room.
What a wonderful thing for a city, to have a building where two musical events were happening at the same time!
I hope your concert goes well, Dick. Is the G?il?n happening at the same time?

I'm pretty sure its the Teachers' Club. One teacher on her own doesnt'c constitute a club.

Have been there just once, on our last trip to Dublin: just round the corner from where we were staying. Fabulous evening, so I'm sure Dick's night will be: well worth seeking out!
(Btw, I have no problem with people posting gigs, festivals or anything else on here: it has been done often over the existence of Mudcat, and I have been guilty of same!)

I think it's very brave for Dick Miles to play the gig without his backing band.

Strange.

The Welly - just about everybody's favourite club these days - posts guest details all the time. No backlash.

Dick posts some of his gigs and somebody cribs.

Keep it up Dick.

We visited the Goilin on our Honeymoon in September and had a great time, we were asked to sing and somehow managed a song and we were made most welcome and the next night we were taken to the Bray Singers Club by a very kind couple and had another good night of Singing, well worth a visit,

We had a similar experience a couple of years ago of being made welcome at the Goilin (sorry I can't manage the accents) on a Friday and then at Bray on the following night - with a lift back to our hotel from possibly the same very kind couple...... both lovely clubs! Hope you had a grand time yourself last night Dick!

The night we went, Grace Toland was the guest: lovely singing. It was the week when it was 30 years since Luke Kelly had died, and very soon after Pete Seeger had also passed away. The MC, Roisin?, asked if there could be a song from the repertoire of each of those 2 singers. We got the Luke Kelly song fairly early on, but still no Pete Seeger song well into the final stretch: so I started into "Where have all the flowers gone?" - the only one I could remember all the words of - and everyone joined in. Happy memories! Will be in Dublin again next March so hope to go back! And our fellas enjoyed the Guinness at very reasonable price!
