Tradsinger, I'd take the more ahem 'constructive feedback' above with a pinch of salt.

I posted a couple of things by my wife on here a few years ago and got comments like - 'she might get a few folk club gigs' or 'might build a small following locally'.

She's since gone on to play at a fair proportion of the folk clubs in the UK, will play 10 festivals (at least, admittedly not Cambridge - yet! ) this year and has offers of gigs in New Zealand, USA and Canada.

Give it a whirl mate ....... but do contact clubs and festivals direct, and ignore the more cynical critics on here.
