mp - the only way that a club organiser can discover that a performer does not meet their club's standards is by giving them a chance in the first place!I have defended the position of the floor singer/performer all the years that I have been on the folk scene and at our club we are proud of the number of floor performers that we can attract and present on a given night (even when a guest is booked, which is most months)
Unfortunately I do not have the powers posessed by a fellow committee member some years ago who, after I had put on a performer who was totally unaware of his own shortcomings, informed me "he even looked like a crap singer!!"
