I agree with all what was written about economic realities and 
politics in this thread, BUT it's also a fact, that te clubs make you 
come by advertising their jam sessions and open stage!

So you're there -  drinking, probably paying admission - expecting 
that "open stage" means it's open for you too! Then you have to 
learn, that they want your money, not your harp though!

I pretty much understand, that it's not easy to be the jam leader. But 
after all it's a deal. You make players come, filling the club, so 
you have to make sure they'll have the chance to play.
