Subject: SEFAN:2006-07-05:01: Landlord wanting new regular Folk Session

Dear Network Folk

I've had an enquiry from a landlord in Horton Kirby : North Kent nr. Dartford, looking to

start a regular Folk/traditional music session in his pub.

Preferred day would be Thursday - but probably negotiable if everyone in area is busy!

Frequency also open to discussion at the moment - I have suggested Alternative weeks

to start with, but interested Session Leader/s might want more or less ... or even share with different genres on different days.(?)

There's an Old Timey/Bluegrass "open mic" club (Riverside Folk Club) at nearby pub ,The Fighting Cocks, on Sunday nights.

I haven't turned up anything else in area on a quick search.

SO - c'mon guys - who's up for this?

There must be lots of peeps into the Tradition(s!) around the Rochester / Dartford / Sevenoaks environs.

Lets get this new session up and running as soon as possible.

I believe the landlord might be able to pay some expenses/ small fee to Session Leader / bands who'd like to play a session

there, particular in the early days to establish it, but I have not discussed this with him.

If a Network member wanted to take this on board - an application to the Start Up and Risk fund might be eligible towards identified

expenses.

Note: this small grant line is under a sub-committee of the SEFAN Trustees - General Manager and Chair have no say in

the distribution of the 5 x £100 grants - so it's no good trying to bribe me with chocolate or G&T's!).

Email me for the one-page application form.

Details are:
