We've been presenting folk music events most Sundays at the Cabbage Patch Pub in Twickenham since 1983. It's now one of best known and most highly respected folk venues in the London area and takes great pride in presenting an eclectic selection of folk/acoustic acts from all over the world in 'concert' conditions (Your emphasis.)

We put on Lau at our club just over a year ago (supported by Jackie Oates and James Dumbleton). This was before they'd won any folk awards but we still had over a hundred people.

Sounds relatively big to me.

We have all sorts of folk evenings...some big concerts with major names but that's not all we do by any means.

OK, you don't do it all the time but you can. Our old venue had a maximum capacity of fifty and you really knew when you'd achieved it. Our new room may hold a few more but we haven't had any major events yet; generally numbers in the twenties. In my experience, that is more typical.

I was basically looking for the differences between us that explained how come you've never heard of The Claque.
