With greatest respect to bubblyrat, the Radway has always been a venue for Mostly English, some Northern European, a smidge of Canadian, and most definitely not Irish!
I Love Irish music. It's just that I never hear anything representative of that culture in England.
Fine Girl you are (or not) and the Fields of "At Henry" isn't for me.
So. Middle Bar for the singers....Great!
Bedford for the mixed singer/musician stuff. ...Great!
Radway for the dedicated musicians......Great!
Where is the problem?
