I very much enjoyed my return to Middleton tonight and what a wonderful turnout too!

Despite a few sound-related problems (noisy drinkers at the bar, The X-Factor on telly and a very lucky guy who kept winning on the slotty at the back of the room!) the night was a great sucess.

Huge 'well dones' to all the newcomers. It is pretty stressful to get up and perfom in front of a room full of strangers who all already know each other and I thought that they all did marvelously!
