autoharpbob	Its why people dont go to folk clubs.... (235* d)	RE: Its why people dont go to folk clubs....	18 Jul 12
When I first joined Mudcat about three years ago I made the mistake of starting a thread about "hackneyed songs" that maybe I should avoid singing in folk clubs. Nice to see it still going on! I can listen to and enjoy Wild Rover, if it is sung well. I cannot listen to even my favourite song - which varies - if it is sung badly. I would prefer to listen to a good Wild Rover than even a good Bohemian Rhapsody - yes, all of it including the guitar solo - which I have heard in a club, or the karaoke clarinet playing Smoke gets in Your Eyes that I have also heard. Like others I have found that playing in sessions is more fun than most singarounds, though there have been lots of good nights to cancel out some of the toe curling ones.
