BELSHAZZAR's FEAST

The Sunray Folk Club had arguably it's best night ever when Belshazzar's Feast were the guest. The evening started with Vicki and then the main supporting artist Nicola Clark did an excellent set, making way for the main guest.

The music, song, humour and general rapport thrilled the capacity audience, who with their enthusiasm asked for more and more.

All in all a wonderful evening.

MUDCAT thread

A really interesting thread here about Folk Clubs, Floor singers, Support artists and people being economic with the truth making out they are supporting Main Guests when they are really traveling in the hope of getting a floor spot.

It is in actual fact quite tough to secure opportunities to sing and the amount available is decreasing, making it even harder to be above the crowd.

But you have to remain honest- esp to yourself.

Sessions

Went to the Elm Tree last night. Advertised in the Echo as a Folk Evening.

For a start the pub had no customers.

The Folk evening was four enthusiasts and a few interested people.

Why isn't this like it used to be. Only a few years ago you couldn't move in there.

How do we get this back on track?
