Well done Nick! At least you are doing something to help. I think the 'who should judge?' question may have a place here. In my opinion the only one who can judge what goes on at their club is the organiser. Only they know exactly what they have in mind. They (usualy) fund it to some extent and then give their own time for free. If the club organiser(s) cannot say who sings there for whatever reason then who can?

It should of course be tempered with a modicum of common sense - I for one would not expect in a million years that everyone would have the same tastes as me for instance and I do support artists who are not on my top ten list, but who are on other peoples.

I do feel I should be able to determine the standard though.

Cheers
