Richard Miles I would not be interested in going to a venue where people read the words.

Neil Cardwell Oddly enough the gentleman who you refer to in your insidious, bigoted comment has been a professional entertainer for many years. He has more material committed to memory than you could probably dream of knowing. However, were this not to be the case ...See more

Richard Miles my comment is only my opinion, there is no point in being insulting. I have made a living as a professional folk singer since 1974 so your unpleasant comment is wide of the mark, I have no wish to go to sessions where people read notes, I am sure that ...See more

Neil Cardwell Richard Miles at least you have adopted an appropriate first name. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but it isn't always necessary to share it. Particularly when the opinion is negative and prejudiced. I wouldn't be interested in your website and I doubt that anyone else would be after you have made public your introspective, pompous attitude

Richard Miles My opinion is positive I believe that performing with words is not necessary and insulting to an audience, it looks to me as if musicans /singers have not bothered to learn the words before they perform, if someone cannot be bothered that is an insult to the audience, therefore your club would not appeal to me, I am not prejudging anything ,I have seen two photgraphs of different performers at your club using words while performing, on that basis i would not wish to attend your club, there is nothing introspective about it or pompous. The only person who is being rude or negative or pompous is you, you cannot accept that people might not want to come to a club where performers appear to be not bothered about learning words.
