Entry for regular club nights is free, we pay our guests by way of a *CASH* collection. Whilst we understand that some simply haven't the means to make a contribution and absolutely DO NOT wish to exclude them, we expect those who can to make as generous a donation as they are able in recognition of our guest's work.
*PLEASE CHECK FOR UPDATES BEFORE SETTING OUT*
Life is full of unexpected ups and downs, illness, weather and other unexpected things can spoil the best made plans. We may sometimes have to change our guest at short notice, or even cancel an evening altogether. To avoid disappointment please re-visit the relevant night's event for updates *BEFORE* setting out.

She started writing songs in 2003, and has featured on Radio 3's Late Junction, and Radios Hereford, Worcestershire and Shropshire, where her song 'Love Imperfect' was a record of the week. Mair has also featured as a special guest on Radio Shropshire's Sunday Folk, hosted by Genevieve Tudor.
Her sound has been favourably compared with the likes of Eva Cassidy, Janis Ian and Carole King.
