Not exactly intimidated by Hitchin (we've done a full support spot there), but I heard that the policy was that they didn't have floor singers anymore. Then I heard that they did, or that they did sometimes, or they did once exceptionally. Given such confusion, it's not worth travelling a long way with instruments on the off-chance...

Compare with not-all-that-far-away Sutton, which is also a concert club (monthly, but always guests, big room, PA etc.) which has plenty of floor talent, and there's a good chance of getting a floor spot if you just turn up.

As for St Neots, unwillingness of floor singers at guest nights is inexplicable.
