We've had a few showcase or spotlight nights at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club for good local singers as well: people who aren't likely to want a full booking of 2 x 45 minute sets, but are well-liked and have earned some extra time by the quality of their performances. It's working nicely. I'm not sure why people's egos should get dented as there's always an opportunity to be chosen in the future.
