Also have to say that if Rima is spotted, he'll get a set for sure! Very few floor performers & songwriters in his league! There may be a place for a new session, possibly with paying audience, somewhere central in Kent, but how on earth you'd enforce a quality control without annoying a lot of players escapes me- and as I've suggested, most clubs seem to survive on their players who then sit and listen.
Maybe a place which has four singers per evening? Would that be financially viable?
