As I said before, you are not going to be able to please everyone, and one wouldn't expect that.

I endorse what Tim said

I think that if you guys can sit there and entertain us for twenty five or fourty minutes and play how many thousand notes? pefectly you would have to be a machine of some sort and none of you are mechanical.
Just people with love of and gift for music. The more you perform with your heart and the less with your intellects the more enjoyable I find the music.

I am not really sure how long MRFC has been running (two years or more), but in all honesty, I cannot remember one evening where I can say that I didn't enjoy the evening. Just to see performers go up there and give of their best for 25 minutes or more is just amazing. OK there are performers who are learning to perform in such an environment, some who are past that stage and are honing their skills to attain a higher level and some who have obtained that higher level. However at the end of the day, they have all contributed to a smashing evening and should be proud as a team of what they have achieved. Most audiences will never know just how much effort and sense of pride in wanting to please the audience goes with all performers. Its not just a question of rolling up and just doing it. Every person who has appeared at MRFC has put a lot of hard work into honing their performance, and the majority have day jobs to do as well and play for the love of it.
