Dave beat me to it..

Mind you, our local folk club is in a wine bar these days and you have to go down the corridor to the main hotel bar for beer, he only does (rather good) wines.

Others I go to vary with both the beer prices, quality and oh, attention...

I must admit, the folk clubs where you don't get ignorant buggers flicking through folders or talking are becoming few and far between, sadly. This particular subject has been beaten to death on Mudcat so I'll not reopen it but in many places, the informality of singarounds rather than stage make for a more informal reception to your songs and tunes.

Still, I have a loud if not angelic voice and can get rather "Blessed" when dropping hints to those with low attention spans or poor social skills.
