I am a long time singaround leader and have experience of the Cleckheaton/Whickham and many other Yorkshire festivals (Barnsley Easter sing in particular) and Whitby Tap and Spile
Running a singarounds isn't as easy as it looks, to keep and maintain equity
One song each, no matter who they are, unless a booked artist has been programmed in there, is the usual course
I had my own programme at Cleckheaton, but big Dave and his mate Brian said they were going to write a song about the problems encountered in the small front room ~ it is a bit close to the dance area,etc.
Better craic in the other room, that's as far as I got
I'd like to see better use of the upstairs Commercial for singarounds
St John's Hall was better laid out on the Sat evening for Deanna's session and very well received ~ pity about the post in the Aakash
