Ebbie, you dont get it do you, I have no desire to play at your venue.
I think that organisers should have thought THE problem of poor
performers out BEFORE THEY STARTED RUNNING AN EVENT.
since you dont pay anybody what do you expect, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys.
you charge 5 dollars on the door, you dont pay anybody, and you expect quality, I think you are barmy, it is a little bit like charging someone to come and plaster your house and then expecting a good job and then complaining because the plastering is poor, you want a good job you employ a skilled tradesman and you have to pay him well.
in my opinion
the only good thing about your system of organisation is that you let youngsters in free.
