Candles can adversely affect the breathing impaired - and if you do a "risk assessment" are a major negative. Sure, they look pretty, but can you chance it?

Flyers and mailing lists soon create a significant overhead. Fine I guess for concerts with stars, but a significant risk of downside otherwise.

Oh, and why would we want people who do not like folk and similar (stretching it as far as country for this purpose) music to come anyway? Would a metal night want a bunch of grannies knitting at the back? If the answer is just money I will start chuntering about prostitution again.

Myspace, however is good. Muppitz' club site I sometimes go and work out from to see who is playing what. And I like that she calls it a folk club.

FHB means "family hold back". In this context it means that if there are more than enough floor singers for the available floor spots it is the residents who start to drop out, rather than doing N songs each and then saying "Oh, no time for floor singers". I've seen it.

No PA or SR is best, if possible.
