I'm just trollin' for ideas here,considering my own house as a venue,small groups of guests (25 to 35), non-amplified acoustic tunes, bluegrass & celtic.

Trying to attract good musicians.

Is this a good idea? Anybody doing this? What mistakes might we avoid? What's most important to the performers?

Can you believe this? Hell, a hundred years ago a fiddler in the kitchen just meant it was Saturday night!
