KFFC is very similar but with probably less well known, but very good quality acts. Very much a type 1 (but with a singaround/ session AFTER the main acts for an hour or so). Runs monthly on a Saturday night.

Again acts are generally paid on a percentage and we have one or two support acts, though these are not always local.... though Blind Summat!/ Wendy Arrowsmith/ Rebekah Findlay (and their new duo "With One Stone") will also appear on a pretty regular basis as we're not dopey either!

We've been running for a year and have kept our heads above water with only one event to date failing to pay for itself. We also run 2 weekends a year which fall much more into the type 3 category with 50%ish singaround and 50% performance from a mixture of local and national acts. The weekends in particular have proved very popular with a much wider catchment than the club nights...... after all we are in the middle of nowhere.

By the way, I'm also the "right" side of 50 (though not as far to the right side as Duelling Bouzoukis!). Audience varies from 15-82 y/o, (as do the acts) probably averaging early to mid 50's.

Tom, when you get yourself settled let me know if you still want a Saturday night gig within easy distance of Leeds.
