Well Faye, if I want to book somebody, I do my research first. If I like the style of the performer and I think it suits our audience, I book them.

In my case, I don't think what you did, would make any difference to me.

A point you are missing is that Singaround Folk Clubs, enjoy meeting and performing together, and many people travel some distance to join in singarounds. Generally if you put a guest on, you tend to find that people who go to the singaround are not always interested in attending guest nights, unless its somebody they really want to listen to. They go to a singaround to be included.
