We could argue all day on the merits of having an organisor or not at sessions.The simple fact is that having an organised organisor at a session does encourage people who would not normally have the confidence to have a go.

I have run sessions in the "Sun" and other places for many years and the feed back from others is that is the kind of ssession they prefare.Of course the session will always run without an organisor, but what usually happens in my experiance is that there will be some who will dominate the session to the detriment of others - that could be musicians OR singers.

In the case of some one being unavailable for the Beverley sessions , we will contact one of the other regulars to take the helm.

In the point of so called "freebies", we all give our services freely in the cause of keeping music live , but I think it is a wonderful gesture on any landpersons part to give anything in appreciation of our efforts.In the case of last Sunday at the "Sun" I would personally like to thank them for that unexpected lovely Sunday dinner.
