Cool, that all makes sense - Thanks. We tend to give inividual artists one song and duo's two. Heaven help us if a seven piece band turn up on a guest night:-D I guess it goes a long way to explaining why your club can get more on than ours. I don't think that either way is perfect and no other will be all things to all people.

I don't think the comment about Sandra never telling anyone they are not good enough to sing is necessary - If you can get everyone on then do it! We have chosen a different way, no better or worse than yours, of running our club and yet we never tell anyone they are not good enough either. It may seem a little harsh to you that we do not get everyone on but I can assure you that the performers who do not get a spot on a guest night are well mannered enough to take it in good grace:-)

Cheers
