TO FOLK SCENE CLUBS IN N.E.
Had a msg from DURHAM COUNTY SHOW inviting the club to provide entertainment. At present we don't have the capacity to do much so I'm trying to invite all folk scene clubs from Tyneside to Teeside to join in. Maybe we can do something special and do our clubs a power of good.
I'm using my old copies of Folk Roundabout and of course getting out of date email addresses - or none, and missing newer groups.
I've included dance, music and song.
If you want to help work out what we might do, send me a msg with your email and I'll send you a link to the Zoom meeting I'm running next Weds eve (10 May).
I think this could be a great opportunity

CHANGES IN OUR CLUB FORMAT
Our weekly sessions are proving unsustainable - which unfortunately seems to be a common problem for quite a lot of clubs. We have started from a very low base after Covid. Resuming a live club and being newbies at social media it was too ambitious to run weekly.
NEW SCHEDULE
We now aim to run about monthly with a guest artist. Many of these could be charity gigs. Support performers will be welcome.

OUR NEXT CLUB will be on Wednesday 17th May when we host the CELIA BRYCE BAND

Many thanks to PCADDY WADDY for an entertaining evening. I particularly liked some of their Carol King numbers. This gig was to support Alice House, the Hartlepool Hospice.
I hope they raised some ££££
In 3 weeks we are hosting the CELIA BRYCE BAND & this will probably be for OUR local hospice, St Cuthberts. - 17th May. Eyes peeled for further info 🧐

Cracking stories about the songs and people on the folk scene. Worth mentioning that this is purely folk. The Churches charity has funded it.

Another excellent night on Wednesday. Thanks to Storiella and co, we had a cracking evening.
The Bridge are working hard to make us feel at home, but there can be problems with the TV occasionally. Have to see how it goes.
No soccer next week so we should be fine.

Well, its an unpleasant driek evening and the Magpies match is on the pay TV.
Plenty incentive to stay in- but fortunately I don't do pay TV so I would have to go out to watch the match anyway.
I'll be at the Bridge Hotel hoping not too many people are put off😺😸

Another excellent night yesterday. Thanks so much Teresa (Storiella) and Burt - a very nifty guitar man - for supporting us.
But we do need more floorsingers - plenty of opportunities for folks to sing or play for us.

Every Wednesday, 8pm Bridge Hotel.

We are indeed meeting every week.
Look forward to seeing you there

Looking forward to Wednesday night - our 3rd relaunch night. First 2 very enjoyable.
We need more floorsingers so plenty of opportunities to step forward and sing or play your favourites.
Bridge Hotel is a good venue and so handy for public transport.

08/03/2023

Looking forward to our second week actually singing and playing to a REAL audience - not a Zoom one.
Plenty of floorsinging time likely.
Weather forecast is cold but clear for the evening - that's a lot better than last week.
Hope to see a good crowd.

Decent first relaunch attendance on a really dreich night, Wednesday night AND excellent sets by Broadband (the group). Definitely a group to enjoy if you get the chance.
We were short of floor singers so if you're looking for your 5 minutes in the limelight........get your body to the Bridge Hotel on a Wednesday night!
See you next Wednesday?

Club relaunch this Wednesday 1st March-
Had a brilliant response from local artists.
Looks like we will have 4/5 soloists and groups doing short sets.
