I have had a fantastic offer from CARA to act as a resident group whilst the club gets built up. This will help me a lot.
It means I can actually get things rolling.

Dáithí
I am willing to run the night according to what people want.
I will be juggling things around dependant on the number of people who want to sing or if for example you would like to play with other people, thats fine. I thought that maybe the last 1/2 hour of the evening might be a glorified singalong with everybody joining in, providing that everyone can agree on what numbers to do.
Obviously I do need to have some structure to the evening and the resident band will have a set amount of time.
What I don't want is for people who are not very experienced etc being thrown to the wolves.
The more experienced performers will obviously have an important roll to play in making it a nice evening.
I do have quite a number of nice offers from poeple such as Stitherum, Riverhead Ramblers, Kate Witney, Hilary Waterfall who will try to get young talent from De Aston School to attend on occasions,Di Cappo (have I got that right), Strollin' Johhnny and Dáithí. I am also trying to get in touch with The Little Band.
I am sure there will be many more.

I am looking at the possibilty of the first night being Sunday 7th March or Sunday 21st March. So watch this space.

One thing that I can't get away from, and that is the dreaded once off membership payment of £10 which lasts for a year (I don't see any of that for future investment). This allows anybody to go to the club on other nights etc. Hope you all appreciate my problem and won't moan at me when I twist your arm for it :-)
Oh and please don't ask me to pay you for what you do, cuase there won't be any. Sorry about that.
One thing that really makes me happy is the way that you are all so helpful.
Many thanks
