Hi John --- you sound worryingly disillusioned! Please don't give up (especially not before February when I understand you have that hot harmony duo Dark Horse appearing in Snorbens!)Haven't listened to last night's MH show yet, I listen later online as we have Roots@Zaks on a Wednesday night. We're finding it frustrating trying to build an audience, and this week is a case in point -- next Wednesday we'll have a sold-out audience for Show Of Hands, and I can guarantee that most of them won't have been through the doors of the place before (we're a club in name only, for priority booking and mailing lists) yet some weeks we struggle to get into double figures. We're still quite new, and Show Of Hands will pay for some of the loss-makers, but the loyalty factor seems to be taking a long time to kick in. If you're in the MK, South Northants, Beds or Bucks area and want to find out what you're missing click here.
