Do you really want to complain about the likes of Alistair Russell giving the occasional song.

Paul - I am sure that if you or I insisted on attending the song sessions and treating everyone to the occasional set of tunes - that many folk would complain.

Steve's session has been going for many years and the ocasional song (from anyone) has always been accepted and tolerated - as it continues to be. However in recent years I feel this has been taken advantage of by those who seem determined to attend and sing more than the occasional song and to encourage others to do this in spite of the obvious nature of this session.

Many of the attendees (including the session leader) would also like to sing - the fact that they usually do not - I feel should be respected by those who feel that they are the one's qualified and entitled to sing us not the occasional song but 3 or 4.

Why do these singers (including Alistair Russell) choose not to attend the sessions set up for songs?
