Thread Name: Do singarounds need someone to run them?
Subject: RE: Do singarounds need someone to run them?
I would say yes, most definitely. It's a job that requires a great deal of "tact and diplomacy" at times, too. People come to singarounds to *sing* ! My feeling is that the best chairpersons of singarounds organise it so that everyone that wants to sings one song at a time, around the room, and subtly and tactfully encourage mainly chorus songs, or only *short* non-chorus ones. Singarounds are not concerts or folk club floorspots.
