hi

Most of what I would advise has already been said here.

1.I would stress however that if you are not a singer or performer yourself you should have some RELIABLE friends who can carry the load on those nights when singers/performers are scarce.

2. You need also reliable assistance with taking entrance fees etc etc etc.

£. Go to as many other folk clubs as you can and talk to the organisers - most of them are human !!!

Good luck and let us know how you get on

cheers

John
