43 years without a sabbatickle !!

Just done 5 as an organiser, its been a hoot.

But its time for a time out

One problem is 'big' names dont want to share the bill.

So I told em otherwise.

Agents dont want money going to pay for support acts, bloody arrogance if you ask me.

Its balancing all 3 aims into one evening is the answer.

to do so weekly is a daunting challenge.


Of gourse not having sufficient coverage on a regular local and national media doesnt help



Dont see any evidence of 'youngsters' organising clubs yet, they are far too full of self interest at the moment trying to get waht they can out of wherever they can..then maybe I've emissed some, though I hear Bodmin have young blood in Steve A. but thats a committee continuation thing.

All the best
