Subject: sets, number and length
Howdy, and thanks for your advice.

I'm considering doing some solo gigs for the first time in a long while (I usually play with bands) and I'm wondering what your opinions are about the number of sets one should play in a full evening, in a 2 hour show, and so on. And, how long should those sets be? How long should the breaks be? I know what I need, but I wonder what the audience generally prefers. I'm less concerned about my own pacing, as I think I've a grip on that, as I am about listener fatigue. Coffee house sets are different than pub sets I suppose. My style is to sing with guitar(s) accompaniment, some instrumentals, and a mix of originals, traditionals, blues, and offbeat songs. I hope that's enough to go on.

Opinions anyone? Thanks again.

Peace, Mooh.
