>> there are plenty of unknowns out there who just need a chance to show what they can do, they have talent, quality and stagecraft by the bucketfull.... but they need introducing to audiences. That is (hopefully) where a club like out ours can play an important role.

Agree with you entirely.

Thats how I used to work when I first started Market Rasen Folk Club. I have to say that i loved it, but my health and lack of people wanting to help made me stop. Have a look at Yellowbellies 1 and 2 CD's to see the variety of very good local performers in Lincolnshire. Those Cd's went on to make over £2500 for charity.

I started Faldingworth live in Concert, because i had promises that I would get a lot of help. Those people have kept their promise and Faldingworth would not be there, if it wasn't for them.

So I wasn't knocking you, but merely pointing something out.
