Good summary from John. I know of two clubs where singers nights can be packed while guest nights are generally much quieter. At one of them I know for certain that the pub landlord has commented that, even with the additional numbers, his takings are down on singers nights. Maybe it is partially an economic thing as well?

As age progresses I am finding the week long festivals I used to attend too much of a commitment but I do enjoy a weekend with camping which I found difficult when I had a young family. Swings and roundabouts for those two from me then.

The only other event I am familiar with is Skipton Clogfest which has been very busy over the last 3 years. See you there John?
