The New Acoustic Would endevour to explore possibilities of linking open mike sessions together, under a national umberella. I think their maybe scope to explore funding for some new initiatives. I want to do something for roots based songwriters. The industry is so blind to the need to nurture and support the songwriters to busy looking for the next big thing. Where will the hit tunes come from if the artists cant ply their trade.
Artists find it difficult get further than their own back unless they have a hit.
I have set up and egroup to explore the possibilities of breaking this ever decreasing circle. I do believe people will support music though if its made accessible and presented in a comfortable and social atmosphere, I think house concerts may be the key. Have a look at our outline of the principle. Tell me what you think from the web site or here on this electric mail address, and consider joining the New Acoustic if either of these initiatives excites you or you have some ideas of your own. The agent is spreading himself too thin to cover the work needed, only divorce and heart attack awaits.
