I have no difficulty with the concept of a more "relaxed" attitude on singers/musicians nights. Brings in the essential element of Fun :0)

However is it reasonable to ask that all the singers have spent some time in the week before going through the songs they wish to sing with a view to at least being able to fit the words to the tune

If however the singers night consists of half a dozen close friends then they can do exactly as they they like - and no doubt will.

This seems to be the nub of the problem Is the Club singer's night really intended to be available to singers new to the Club If it is then some regard must be had to a newbie's perception of the proceedings.!!

At the end of the day we all have our own favourite venues and long may that continue.
