Yes Kitty,

Generally speaking I think that, allowing for variations in length of songs,introductions,parish notices and so on, something like a dozen songs an hour would be about right.And I prefer to see "one singer = one song" and duos and trios = two songs (unless they are really wonderfull but then you are approaching what could be seen as an extended "showcase" type spot.

Of course the whole idea is a bit of a minefield if you haven't sorted out your policy before you start.

However in the Middle Bar we work to 14/15 songs per hour - cos we fine 'em for long intros.

BTW Kitty see you at The Wail!!!
