Subject: RE: Harder for the ladies to get gigs???
Barbara says "there do seem to be less around that would suit our club for a full guest night"

Given the extensive list of female performers that the likes of The Villain came up with, I'm interested to know what it is that the female performers seem to lack that makes them unsuitable for a full guest night?

I would echo several comments posted on this thread, e.g. Dulci says "it has been my experience that men seem to self promote and problem solve more regarding gigs". This would echo the widely held view that men typically apply for a job even if they can only fulfil 60% of the criteria, whereas women will be reluctant to apply until they can fulfil around 90%.

Therefore, if Capt Birdseye can do it, then so can I!

So...come on girls...we are just as good as (and some considerably better!) than the male acts that dominate the folk club circuit. (I'll sit back now having lit the blue touch paper with that last comment!!! Tee hee!)
