Thread Name: Christmas Club Crawl
Subject: RE: Christmas Club Crawl
I can echo Sooz's sentiments about all of these clubs. Particularly enjoyed Folk Down The Dale in Doncaster on Saturday 4/1/03 - great room, nice crowd (and a lot of them!), good guests and fine floor spots. A young lady (Michelle?) making her singing debut too - great voice and lots of promise. See you again soon, Donny.

I'm a bit biased about Gainsborough FC - must be the superb selection of REAL Real Ale, as well as the friendly atmosphere. Lots of visitors from out of town.

Ref. Lincoln FC - I feel for the guys who work like hell to keep it going. Them there Lincolnians should be ashamed of themselves - a wonderful, beautiful, historical city filled with apathy. How come they'll flock to pay seven or eight quid to see an 'A' list performer at a concert venue in the town, but won't pay a couple of quid to attend the folk club and encourage home-grown talent? Snobbery? I drive 20 miles to their club, why can't they make it in their own town? And don't forget that the 'A' list guys all started out in the clubs.

End of sermon!
