Part of my reason for raising this thread was to see if we could gather good practice. The reason being I would like to travel not very far to hear good folk music.

This is my original list:

Is it possible not simply to gather good practice but also to explore how these different events might support each other?

1. Folk Clubs – resident singers, audience, guests.
2. Singarounds – most people who go sing songs, small audience if any
3. Tunes Sessions - most people who go play tunes, small audience if any
4. Folk Concerts – in larger venues and small theatres pro and semi pro performers
5. Folk Festivals – weekends to weeks, residential audiences pro and semi pro performers
6. Social Country Dance Clubs – often associated with The EFDSS, regular meetings to dance Social Dance to a Band or recorded music
7. Ceilidhs – sometimes organised by "Folkies" for "Folkies" Social Dance with a Band
8. Ceilidhs – sometimes organised by "Folkies" for "None Folkies" Social Dance with a Band
9. Solo Clog Dancing – individuals learn the same routine but often dance together in public
10. Other regional solo display dancing - Appalachian, Suffolk
11. Longsword and Rapper Dancing -
12. Morris and related Dancing -
13. Mummers Plays and other Folk Drama -
