Folk Folk

Are you interested in folk music?

Would you like to help:

• bring world class folk musicians to play in the churches of Charnwood?
• raise money for local schools and for Loughborough, Town of Sanctuary?
• invest in equipment to facilitate more ambitious performances?
• bring people together? 

Folk Folk is a cooperative being set up by Alison Mott and Bob Edge.

The idea is that Folk Folk will underwrite and promote folk concerts in the Charnwood area. Members will buy stakes (suggest £50, but whatever you can afford) and the money will be kept in the bank. If a concert loses money, the losses will be covered using the funds/a percentage of the funds in the bank. Members could then walk away or choose to reinvest.

Members will help to promote the concert, sell tickets and help out as stewards.
