That is a very good Point Sal - But if you are working solo , a whole evening of being Audible over basic bar Noise plays havoc with the voice . There are , though , FAR too many Pub Enbtertainers who ARE Too loud !
      When I was 'doing' pubs solo , I knew I'd got it right wnen someone came up after about twenty minutes saying " What we CAN hear sounds OK but we can barely hear you at the back "
