Re: [Tower Ravens] Music cover

Hi Ffion, Thanks for getting back so quick about Pat. I think putting something out like that for the crawl is a good idea. As you say, if they're not good enough we're not obliged to keep them, alternatively if they have a good time we can try and invite them to come again? Definitely worth a shot otherwise we can't crawl!

At a previous AGM we discussed ways of recruiting new musicians. We decided we didn't want to advertise publicly for a musician because it would be difficult to turn people away if they weren't good enough. We also thought the most likely way of finding someone would be asking friends of friends. That obviously hasn't worked very well (or we haven't tried hard enough). As we have a specific event next week we need someone for could we use this as an opportunity to put a shout out on social media for musicians? We could say it's a one off need, so we wouldn't be obliged to ask them to do anything again if it didn't go well. It would obviously be good if they could pop along on Monday to check they really can play jigs fast and well enough. I'm happy to put some posts in some London folk music groups this weekend if we think it's worth a try.

(In particular wondering about Martin as then we don't lose a dancer). ***we currently have no musician for Thursday's crawl*** Neither Kate nor Martin are free so if we want to crawl we need someone else. Has anyone got any ideas? Ffion I don't know if Pat would be up for it? Going forward I think we need to look for someone who can provide a reasonable amount of cover for Kate as it looks like the reality is that long hours are going to make it very difficult for her to be in London in time for all practices and crawls. Martin does a great job of covering but ideally we need someone who wants to be part of the team. We'll discuss this on Monday - rack your brains if you have any bright ideas!
