Yes this is very interesting and can agree with much of what has been said Barnsley folk and acoustic have been trying "hot spots" of 40 mins duration which has the benefit of leaving time for musicians and regular singers to perform ~ who would not want to come if they can't play or sing on the night Full guest of 2 x 45 mins leaves little time for floor singers, some say a good job ~ we are a weekly club on a Monday night and suffer as has been outlined above!! Yes 25 is a good figure for attendance, and it takes a long time to educate the "audience" to appreciate the skills and talents of guests ~ you can have the "wrong audience" if you are unlucky on the night Ray
