[ Stuntie sez up front: The primary reason that the folkmusic.org house concert
list hasn't been updated is that everyone is busy doing so many things --
including
the broader Folk Venue Database, which I hope will show the same list as just
one
sub-view. However, since house concerts are one of my primary interests, I will
undertake the following: IF YOU PRESENT HOUSE CONCERTS, send me a blurb
telling:

1. Name of series
2. Name(s) of presenters/organizers
3. City, State, Kingdom etc
4. Telephone number for reservations
5. Email for reservations/booking
6. Web page if you have one
7. (Optional) postal address for performer submissions
8. Kind of room (living room, barn, backyard etc)
9. Seating capacity
10. Usual day of week and time of show
11. How often you run - every 3 weeks? summer only? etc
12. Typical donation or ticket price
13. Some recent performers
14. Additional notes - no more than a paragraph. Is it a pot luck,
is it an AIDS benefit, do you rotate homes, are there other
related activities, is there a genre emphasis, whatever.

Send this to hc@ifolk.org (not to folk_music please) and I will assemble an
updated
list for display on folkmusic.org. Remember this is once per SERIES, not once
per
show. No pictures or brochures please, they are perfect for your own web page,
which
I will link to if you provide the address (6).

Now back to Scott Duncan, sorry for the intrusion - TMN ]

http://folkmusic.org/ has a list, but it hasn't been updated in months
(I've been trying to get my series back on it; it was dropped off after
change to the new format). It is a great site for links to various artists.

There's also: http://www.houseconcerts.com/

Those are the only two I know.

P.S. For those in L.A. (or know someone in L.A. to tell) Alisa Fineman (ex
of Martin Simpson's Band of Angels) will be at my place with Kimball Hurd
this next Sunday (6/7). There are still seats available. Contact me to
RSVP.
