Would you like to take a look at our guest list? In the past, Tom McConville, Martin Carthy, John Kirkpatrick, Pete Coe and many others including a good few Mudcatters have seemed to enjoy performing here.


I took a look at your guest list and it is indeed most impressive.

Sorry I thought you were arguing earlier that folk music was not about well-paid guests but about anyone at all - no matter how bad - being allowed to play.

Which one do you think contributes most to the success of your folk club? I note that the weeks with very high profile guests tend to be sell-outs. Of course it could just be a coincidence.

Here is a simple experiment you could try.

Drop the professional guests, drop the residents that I note you have, stick to allowing anyone to play anything they like and come back on here and tell us what a success it has been.
