We have run a successful club in Trosley, first at "The Two Kings" and then " The Full House" for over 30 odd years and we haven`t lost our capacity audience at all. We overcame the "dodgy" singer business by learning from the ice skating competitions when they were first on t.v. Three committee members have white numbered cards, from 1 to 10. After each artist sings or plays they display their card that they feel gives a score out of 10 for performance. An average is calculated and anyone not reaching the aggregate of 7.5 is invited ted speak with our professional music master( £22.5 per hour). As I said we have grand audiences, but there again, it could be that the best bitter £1.33 a pint!!
