Alan Day,

You were unlucky to have appeared at that club. I know of a couple similar in format, but they are not the norm.

At my club, as in most others, the opposite would have happened. The fact that you had travelled to be there would have guaranteed you a better than usual spot, no matter how many others were wanting to play.

I try to give my punters more of people they cannot usually hear. After all, the locals will be there next week. Also, anyone who threatened to remove himself if not featured, would be invited to do so with immediate effect.

If you ecer feel inclined to try folk clubbing again, and I hope you will, come visit Open House Acoustic in Maidstone, let me know you are coming, and you will go on, if necessary, instead of myself, or the residents.

Don T.
