Hey, Shambles,
Grab yourself a one-way ticket to Brisbane, Oz. We do it
differently here.
Firstly, our club does not operate in a noisy venue, so we
are unplugged (no PA). We charge nothing, and are paid
nothing. We hold it mid-week when the owner of the premises
(a fully licensed restaurant)is happy to have extra business
and charges nothing for the venue. And I would do almost
anything not to miss a Wednesday night.

Do I like folk clubs? My bloody oath!

Regards,
Shimbo
