I can't disagree with you Dick that fewer clubs book weekly guests.

In my youth in Manchester and surrounds, late 60's through the 70's and early 80's most clubs had a weekly guest.

Hindsight being a wonderful thing, many of those guests were not much better than your average floor singer today.

A few more songs perhaps and a lot more "bottle" certainly!

I don't consider myself to be a great musician or a great singer but I would suggest I'm as good today if not better than a lot of people who got bookings then.
