Yes bookings can be down to one person, but that one person should be aware of the attraction of certain acts and the problems with others ~ club audience is a fickle thing and many factors will come to play ~ indeed with a folk club the weekly attendees could all be musicians ~ not come the week/s that guests are booked etc Many clubs have folded and the right balance can be of paramount importance ~ building audiences of different sorts could be a good idea! Paying to see guests, floor singers, floor musicians, raffle persons, treasurer, etc all are important in getting a thriving club ~ but do not leave all to the few ~ too many dead (useless individuals) should be pulled out of the ruck (Rugby Union sorry) moaners and groaners can be disasterous (in gest! er um) Ray
