Les wrote about a club where a few people showcase their talent: "It is a concert style club and has 4 unpaid floorspots and one 45 minute floorspot which is paid but not at a full gig price.
The purpose of the club, is to provide performers with a means to platform themselves and to offer an opportunity for people in a rural area to see the immense amount of talent that is around at a very reasonable price £3. Any small profits or losses go back into the club.
It runs every other Friday (summertime as well)."

Susan, you wrote that you would like to play at such a venue and you are in luck, we have that right here in town, EVERY Friday night (ok...maybe a week or two here and there they are vacation), have you played there? Ten West is always happy to have folks come play and you don't have to play with anyone else, the spotlight would be all yours. You can use your own sound system if you really want one, but it's a nice small venue where you don't really need a mic.

And Susan, I think RidgePluckergot the impression that you were looking for other folks to play with because you made mention of it in the slow jam thread...about wanting to play more, hold hands less and finding few people in the area to play with. He's right...all kinds of stuff to play at, listen to, join in, etc within a 2 hour radius.
