I'd say yes... although as Beardy as just said it does depend what you mean by 'run' there is a difference between guiding & controlling... we have some big egos in our midst!!. I'm fairly sure that Les gave me my first invitation to sing...(not the big ego type) if not Les then Maggie. I had very little confidence and needed an invitation... I have more confidence now but still prefer to KNOW it's my turn...I quite like to know a couple of songs in front... so I can be ready... either because we are going round the room or just by a nod. The idea of just jumping in is impossible for anyone without a lot of confidence... and apart from joining in how do we ever gain confidence. Also anyone who goes to Whitby week regularly might know of a singaround which happens all week in a packed bar where about 75% of the songs are by 3 or 4 people... jump in at your peril!!
