In Fairness Joe, you say Mudcat is not primarily a fan site - it's a site for musicians.
Whilst that may be true, are you making an assumption that all organisers or audience are musicians?

Musicians need organisers and audience, organisers need musicians and audiences and audiences need musicians and organisers. We are all one big team or family.

In my case I am not a musician and I have never sung at a folk club, but I do organise musical events in the folk world.
Likewise there are mudcatters who just go to events, but do not sing or play, but go becuase they love the companianship, music etc, who in my opinion are fans of Folk Music, but will probably have their favourite performers.

Mudcat is something we value very much. So please don't exclude us :-)
