I used to have an "anything goes" policy at first but quickly limited it to karaoke only.
Several problems emerged:
Too much stage time... karaoke tracks eliminate this problem.
Not enough energy... a strumming guitar isn't the same vibe as a karaoke track.
Unfamiliar material... usually these types of musicians want to do original compositions.
Bottom line is that it wasn't going over. Nothing against it personally.
There is a club in the area that has open mic nights on Wad and Sun. That's where I tell them to head.
I have no problem allowing original material.
I don't either as long as it is in karaoke format. Don't bring in an instrument to do so. I give bands the info on how to create their own karaoke cdg with their own music. Several actually do.
