I sing folk songs to a small guitar- to start my professional career should I gig at old folks homes?

January 252010

My best number is ‘There was a lover and his lass, with a hey nonny no and rosemary and thyme’
I follow this with ‘What shall we do with the drunken sailor? Hey nay and up she rises’
I finsih after about two hours with a comic version of ‘Old Jed is dead and so is his daughter, the both drank from the stream they knew they didn’t aughter.’

I think it’s a good idea to do that to give you practice in front of a live audience. Then when your ready hit an open mic. But think of all the joy you’ll bring to the elderly giving them something different in their monotonous nursing home life. Have fun and keep going.

    That would be an excellent start! There are also many folk festivals, and some bars like The Old Triangle appreciate that type of entertainment! I wish you the best of luck!
