"I would not have booked JohnLennon/Britney Spears impersonators,we all have our individual boundaries that are purely subjective,but as an organiser that is one of the perks of the job..."

Oh well, if you don't have Britney Wannabees at your club I ain't comin'! ;-)

"..in the end it is organisers who decide who gets the work.the organisers have to be aware of their audience,and there are different kinds of folk audiences.Dick Miles"

Erm, forgive me, but that doth sound somewhat controlling of people's musical careers.

YOU 'decide' who gets the work?

I guess that no musician would dare cross those who feel that way, for if they refused to feed the somewhat over-inflated egos of people who have the 'I'm in charge!' attitude they are simply crossed off the list.....as in....

"Here endeth your musical career mate!"

And THAT is why some folk clubs are dying on their feet.
