Above all smile and make everybody feel welcome.

I endorse the comments by mg in the second post of this thread.

Very much like Banjiman, we have a varied set of performers and the support acts are always very good and worth listening to.

I really am not interested in what classification anybody falls under, so long as they are good.

Work hard as an organiser and make each night the best you can. Never sit back and think that you have to do nothing and people will come along, otherwise you may get stung in the arse.

Our next 3 events

This Saturday Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies with Stitherum as support - sold out 105 bodies in the room

Sunday March 7th Martyn Wyndam-Read and Iris Bishop with Rebeka Fyndlay as support 71 bodies to date

Saturday March 13th Bill Whaley & Dave Fletcher
+ John Conolly & Bill Meek 75 bodies to date.

That is pretty good considering we are in the backwoods of Lincolnshire in a village of 300 people and in a village hall.

I reserve seats and trust people to turn up and pay on the door. It works great for us, but maybe not for everybody.
