Now if I was the other side of the pond AND had just won the lottery...the only way I'd get to perform to a paying audience is if I owned the club! Mind you, that would also get rid of the audience sharpish so perhaps it's just as well!
If Amos did make a go of it as a paying proposition he should pay Max a peercentage for use of the name- and give Max, Bobert etc regular gigs!
