Apart from the session at Ditchling, where the standard of musicianship is superb, and generally higher than any other event I've been to, I'd say the "order of musicianship standards" of events I attend (highest to lowest) goes:

- Open Mics
- Singarounds/ Sessions
- Folk Club Floor nights

Of the two open mic sessions I attend semi-regularly, both tend to be welcoming to newcomers or the less accomplished (me included) while at the same time having generally high standards of musicianship overall, although in a variety of genres (ranging from folk, unaccompanied sometimes, too, to beatboxing).

I don't get to as many singarounds/sessions as I used to, but those I frequented regularly/ still frequent occasionally, had/have a pretty good standard generally.

I rarely go to "proper folk clubs" now but was often disappointed with the quality of the floor singing at those I did attend.

People had obviously practiced their performances much more for the open mic/ singarounds/ sessions than for the FCs, and it showed.
