why weelittledrummer, Al? you played guitar...or am I being dense?!
We do use pa when we do gigs elsewhere but the Folk club set up is usually acoustic so if some artists early in the night use pa then others don't afterwards, it doesn't always work. However, if the last act uses pa, like you did, that is fine or if the last x amount of acts use pa, it is also fine because no one has to do an acoustic set after them, which is difficult. I have had experience of that happening and it is difficult to follow someone with pa if you are doing an acoustic spot. Thanks, Al for the offer re pa, it was generous of you to offer the use of yours and in different circumstances, we would have probably used it. woffle woffle zzzzzz! :-)
