I recently went to a greatclub- or it would have been, had they not been woefully shorthanded. Only a quarterstaff showed up that night to work.
The entertainment was nice, though. Instead of just recycled dance club stuff and a lame DJ, we got live entertainment: a really talented guy singing and playing katar! At least for a while...then he whipped out some hybrid instrument that was scimitar, semi-harp. Exotic, yes, but he wasn't as good with it as he was with first instrument.
