even a folk gig with amplification can be pretty loud
Ah I miss the days of proper acoustic folk gigs.
I do, a bit, sadly the folk club I used to go to in Chippenham closed years ago, they used to get some good people in too, one of my favourites was a guy called Colin Scot, who’s first eponymous album had the most incredible list of rock/prog/folk luminaries on it, from the likes of The Strawbs, Genesis, Yes, Lindisfarne, Van Der Graf Generator, King Crimson…
Sadly dead now, had a fondness for a drink or two, or three, or…
Still, you can have amplified folk gigs that don’t require earplugs, Gemma Hayes was the last one I went to in Corsham, and it was perfect, sound-wise.
