Nothing wrong with travelling to other clubs Bob, or inviting other to participate in yours - in fact, it's a necessity.
But unless you develop a base locally you may just as well organise concerts and drop the 'club' bit.
When I lived in Liverpool I travelled regularly to the Manchester clubs and all in between; I moved there and visited Liverpool regularly, and further afield - even as far as London - wherever I went I brought back to my own base.
I have always thought that clubs need to be far more than just performance nights.
WE ran a regular workshop to assist new singers, we had our own archive and library, did local research, ran themed feature evenings, worked with local libraries, schools and the media......
There is little point in doing this if you are just going to be a performance venue concentrating on bums on seats
I now live in a country that has no real history of a club scene and I know how difficult it is to achieve anything major other than as an individual
