Thread Name: A House Concert Presenter's Dilemma
Subject: RE: A House Concert Presenter's Dilemma
I'm going to be no help to you at all, because I think there is huge merit in offering people a performer they may not have heard of - but who YOU know is well worth seeing. Thing is, you need to have built up a trust with your audience first, so they will come, despite that.

I'm also a huge fan of the more mature performer - what they may lack in youthful voice is more than made up for in humour, experience and the qualities that only come with having a lifetime of knowing the music.

I can remember (after a few bevvies) asking Louis Killen to marry me only last Easter - he's a mature chap by anybody's standards, but still gorgeous!!!
