Dave, lets face it - you booked dross.
Everybody knows that what your audience really craved was long ballads sung with no accompaniment.
You let the side down. If it weren't for moral failures like you, every mucky dingy backroom of a pub would have an English folk club: wo full of of real folk music fans, standing shoulder to shoulder hanging onto every word of an accompanied ballad. You could hear a pin drop.
In fact one week someone dropped a pin. I think it was Leonard Cohen.
