I would prefer to not swap the Sunday location unless we are testing it our for a few week consecutive period.

As far as the once-a-month "jam" is concerned, it sounds like fun and I'm not opposed. But I also do not think it addresses the reason for bringing all this up in the first place. The notion was to see if a different location would make it easier for folks to attend our regular concerts. Doing a special, once-a-month concert on a different day doesn't work to answer that query.

So, long story short, I see the "jam" as something to be considered independently, but not necessarily as compromise that will answer the query. Though, I suppose in some way it does answer it, since it seems like folk would prefer to keep Sundays as they are given the option, which is perfectly fine by me.

Also, now I want toast and jam.

Hello Everyone!

Well firstly I'm pretty new to the Landy community so my opinion may not have a lot of merit but here goes :$

I did not know about the Sunday concerts till I met the fabulous members of LBC who invited me to attend a few weeks ago. Prior to that I always checked the area around the Prancing Pony to see if any bands were playing whenever I logged on. I think for newer players this is where they think the concerts happen? Just a guess.

I love the idea of the home parties you have given and have been honored to be a part of that recently. Gives a special feeling of family and friends getting together to have a great evening of song and dance. That's so much fun to be a part of. I would hate to see it disappear. I think over time word of mouth will bring more attendance to the kin house.

On the other hand I do think the Pony is a main hub for everyone that logs in. Chances are you will have more attendance there if that is what you are looking for.

You could do one Sunday concert at the Pony a month and the rest at the Kin house?

Example: First Sunday of the month is outside the Pony. The rest of the month at the Kin house? This way you are getting more exposure once a month which in turn will bring more attendance to the Kin house parties.

Sorry to have such a long post, I can get a bit carried away at times. ;)


Cheers!

Every opinion of our friends has merit Erragoth :)
Its why I put this in the open forums! Thank you so much for taking the time to share yours with us. You make a good point about the newer folks to the community which is why I think that even if we keep our location, we may try to do some impromptu style shows or something like that in Bree each month as a sort of advertisement. We have always liked the idea of bringing new folks to the music and often we don't think about it, but sometimes taking the music to the new folks is a good idea too :)

Good Morning Fincin and all of LBC:

Thank you for throwing this out and asking for feedback.

I realize I have no official vote...not being a band member.

But I offer my thoughts on the subject:

I have attended many of your concerts over many months and I would enjoy your concerts wherever they are held! You folks have provided many hours of great music and have graciously opened up your kin home to any and all that care to attend. I always look forward to Sunday nights at the LBC home!

You have built this reputation of being music lovers, gracious hosts and, welcoming of guest bands, or individuals to your warm kin home on Sunday nights. I would think you would want to keep that tradition alive. It is a beautiful setting for music, food, drink, dance and socializing.

I would agree with others to have a special concert maybe once a month, and hold it at different popular venues throughout middle earth...

Those are my thoughts on the matter...

Thank you for the opportunity to share.

Your friend

Nepenthor

Thanks for everyone's responses. I don't think the endstate of our desire is more attendance. Rather, the attendance level would be a measure we could use to determine if folks found it easier to attend at a different location. That's the best metric barring some sort of poll of the community at large, or keeping some sort of detailed log of who shows up and when, which would be cumbersome to collect.

Ultimately, the uniqueness of performing every week at our kinhouse may just be a tradition not worth even attempting to change. But this isn't a pressing issue, so we are taking our time to hear from as many as we can.

Just a thought that came to mind tonight.

With the way Bree now becomes layered with fewer condensed crowds, should we keep looking at Bree, or see whether layer effects happen at other places, and not just in the towns? The Farm comes to mind, where KrAbby's used to play, or maybe just outside one of the gates, where people coming in could see a large crowd gathered, or at least the /dance spam as they ride past.
