Obviously dont ask to sing in a 'concert club'unless you really are very good

I have many experiences of visiting new places and will not hesitate to name names (but not here) as to clichey (that how to spell it?) clubs

If you travel a distance to a new club for the first time the organiser should be able to tell a singer or at least ask (and no I wont got the trouble of phoning first)needless to say the regulars should stand down (I do) ~ some regulars are a bl**dy pain and full of self importance

and its no use saying come on a singers night as distance may preclude ~ summer is a good time unless the club is closed for the summer!

Everyone gets asked at Barnsley Folk Club to tap dance, tell a joke, sing, monologue or party piece

And the old joke 'we could do with more ladies in the club'

Is often trotted out
