Countess, you're being deliberately silly!

'Guests' who appear at the Railway know what to expect - Tom Paxton, Martin Carthy, Vin Garbutt, Martin Simpson, Dave Swarbrick, John Kirkpatrick, Harvey Andrews, Clive Gregson, the list goes on.

It isn't a concert venue, and doesn't pretend to be. Your cheap jibes about deductions make your 'argument' even less convincing!!

;o)

Seriously, though, it isn't an 'inferior dive', but someone else's home... and their business. We are using one room - and the same applies to practically every other folk club, I would suggest.

We could always put a tent in the back yard... oh, sorry, I forgot, we've tried that!! A great big one that held 200 people.
