Well Jim
I would make you welcome at

Faldingworth Live

I like what you do. However we are fully booked.

I have a feeling there is a lot of "At cross purposes" in this thread.

Whilst I put on a lot of people that suit my club, I also put local support acts on who do themselves justice and are more than capable of doing more than 30 minutes as a support act.

We are very rural, and if the music isn't good enough we wouldn't have an audience big enough to pay for the acts. It serves as a "Community" concept and we get a very good turn out each time.

Our organisation does it for the love and and not for the money, but we take a great pride in what we put on. We do our utmost to look after every person who performs here, whether they are the main act or support.

Our audience pays for that.

However, what we do is one thing and what a folk club does is another and IMHO, there is room for everybody and if we all try to do the best we can, then everybody wins.
