You couldn't ask for a more rural area than where I run my club. It is concert style with all performers pre booked. Four performers doing 25 minute floorpsots and one doing 45 minutes.
Each evening is varied and does not have the same performers playing week in week out.

The last time pulled 65 including the performers.

Most performers stay all evening. They do not know when they are on until they arrive on the evening. The order is based on blending so that each performance is different from the other.

To me as a non performer - variety with competent performers is the one way to bring listeners in.

Singarounds generally bring performers, but not so much the listeners.
