poltr1Had lunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maedbh7 yesterday. One of the many things we talked about was how the filk community is oriented toward solo musicians. Ensemble players such as her and myself don't often get a chance to perform.
Years ago, there used to be instabands -- groups of filkers who would get together, rehearse, and perform a song during a convention. I think the only impromptu ensemble in filk these days is Philip Textor's Chamberfilk, which I've been a part of.
So, how can we get this ball started? Who else would be interested in such a project?

There were 14 people on stage at once. The music was amazing from that concert and they really jelled together on the last few songs. (I wish they were not time restricted by the awards banquet following them.)
