This is hilarious,
" There is no entitlement for crap singers to bore customers who have paid a premium to see major performers such as Roberts and Lakeman."
OK, The vast majority of people who go to a folk club know the format, if they do not want to see floor singers they can turn up later.
   the original quote was this,"I wasnt quite prepared for the customary floor-singer.....doing Wild Rover. "

Beam me up Scotty".

All the dreadful cliches seemed to line up like dominoes
which sounds like Sunray objected to the singing of the wild rover rather than how it was sung.
Sunray, runs a club so he must be used to floor singers, logic dictates he is talking about the choice of song not the performance.
quite frankly,I see nothing wrong with the song Wild Rover, I am more concerned about how it is performed.
by the way I would not pay 10 pence to see sean lakeman, he is definitely not my cup of tea, whereas I might pay see 10 pence to see a singer perform the wild rover.
might i finally remind everybody that folk music is not pop music, it is the music of the folk, that means folk clubs are there to encourage everybody to try and make home made music, without folk clubs giving floor singers an opportunity, we would not have some FOLKPOP music stars such as Barbara Dickson,Sean Lakeman plus many folk comedians, that does not mean that there should be no quality control, it means in my opinion, everyone should be given an opportunity, and encouraged to get better, that does not mean they have an automatic right to sing , it means it is at the discretion of the organiser, if the floor singer doesnt like it they can go somewhere else,if guest peter doesnt like it ring up the organiser find out when the guest is on and turn up when thethe guests are due to appear
