I believe that the the organisers of Westhoughton Fok Club did audition support spots - or at least ask for samples of their work. My apologies to them if that was not the case. Westhoughton was however a purely 'concert club'. All the top names were booked and they sold out of tickets (yes it was ticket only at times) for almost every night. They went on to win the Radio 2 Folk Club of the year award some time back but have now closed because the organisers could find no-one to take over from them:-(

Not sure what the point is but I am sure half the contributers here will interpret it one way and the other half chose the polar opposite:-)

Cheers
