Thread Name: Non Musicians Taking Over Clubs
Subject: RE: Non Musicians Taking Over Clubs
Now that I have said my piece, I wiil comment further.

I see my club as a team effort.
I get all the acts sorted out and do the publicity etc etc.
The performers do their part of the team effort by getting up on the stage and doing their bit.
I control how much time they have, but they control what they do within their time frame.
The audience do their part by turning up and supporting the performers and paying their hard earned money.
I have some smashing regular (residential) performers, who give their all. What more can I ask of them.

I forgot to mention, that the club is in a very rural area.

Fiddlestix - you should be very happy to have people wanting to help with your club. The time to moan, is when you don't have anybody.
What do these people do to upset you. Are you sure they don't like music? You don't have to be a musician to be an organiser. Do they interfere with what you play? Obviously something has happened to sour relations.
