Rare as it is for me to agree with the Wee Little Drummer, I am pleasedf to say I support him totaqlly on the pub question.I must say I have experienced the attitude of looking down on people who play pubs. It does indeed exist in some venue organisers/ committee members. Also, surprisngly, a prejuduce exists in some people's minds against people who play for dancing (therefore, they can't possibly play for listening). Well, it is perfectly true that some pub acts might not be ideal for listening to in a traddy club, or some dance bands may not be verey interesting to listen to. But I would personally turn it right round, and say I might be quite suspicious of a folk "act" who couldn't hold an audience in a pub. Or of a dance band that you couldn't bear listening to.
