Jeez...

80% of the readership here live in Canada / USA

About 5% live in Australia

Still more live in other parts of the world.

At best about 10% live in the UK

At best about 10% of those are interested in your club

At best about 25% of those interested, could get to your club

At best about 30% of those interested would bother to come to your club

Doing the math, at best you'll get 0.03476 of an extra person at your gig.

Thank you for posting

Hey Garg - I'm 100% person.... I'm planning to go to at least 2 of those nights, so ya boo sucks to you AND your Maths! It's time you learned that the world DOES NOT revolve around either the States or YOU!!

Chris - any chance of some directions from the nearest Tube station? I'm guessing one of the three Acton stations is near it..... my A-Z is at work and I'm not!

Do they accept floor singers and are there any singaround nights at all?

LTS - grateful for any news of any more folk clubs in London that don't happen on Tuesday or Thursday!

Gargoyle,

There's 3 people in Plaistow alone that would have read Chris's announcement. Another 3 regulars here that I know of are in easy reach of Acton. If all 6 turned up it would make a big difference to the club and would fill the list for floor spots. If they brought friends and passed the news on to other people don't you think it was worth the message being posted?

Guest - Not on the carpet,please! And wipe your chin - you're still dribbling

Congratulations to the new club for some great line-ups - Have heard Citizen Camembert (100% great) ditto C.B. & S - I will pass this on to folkies I know in the area..

Gargoyle - one day the wind will change and then you'll be stuck like that. Try :) instead of :(

Um... I'm actually doing a gig there in a couple of months.

Go and see Chris though. He is one of the best guitar players I've ever seen, and Anahata and Mary are both astonishing box players - melodion and English Concertina, respectively.

Amazing what you get in the Mudcat when you are after a little free advertising.

The Club, called Roots Focus, is being run by Michael & Julia of Hemlock Music who work very hard promoting folk music in the UK

Its a 10 minute walk (so that rules out the Americans again)from Acton tube station, buses available.

Rather than having floor singers the evening has an open music session from 7.30pm followed by the support act and the main act, another session, more from the acts and finishing off with yet another session)

Rest of the bookings are

28th Nov Jean-Pierre Rasle (French Bagpipes) 5th Dec Robb Johnson 12th Dec Mad Dogs and Englishmen 19th Heaven Shouting

Perhaps I should say I have no connection with Hemlock Music, other than doing the odd gig.

Regards

Chris
