Though the guests tend to be well-known names I am very surprised with the low attendances (perhaps 30) for these events. What's more, many of the regulars at the Singers' Nights don't turn up for the guests!

I have experienced that too, Ian. What's more we often get more there on a singers night than on a guest night - Still, musn't complain. We don't charge for singers but the raffle does help top up the funds for the paid guests:-) We still have the occasional 'sell-out' for guests I'm glad to say. Johnny Silvo did it last year and we expect a repeat on May 24 (plug, plug :-) )

I initialy like the idea of having the montly guest nights loosing the 'folk' tag. Must have a think about that in light of your experience.

Cheers
