Not to take anything away from Steve who is doing a marvelous job of running the club and the tree festivals he is involved in, it was like that before Steve took over running the club. On my first visit to the clubaround fifteen years ago one singers night, as well as all the local singers and players there were Allan Taylor, Ewen Carruthers and John Birkby a daunting group to follow as a seasoned performer let alone for a novice singer guitarist.
