I wish I could play ... I fell into singing (unaccompanied) after spending quite a few years as a regular Folk Club listener. I was encouraged to have a go by our local Club host, and I've never regretted it even though I'm sure my voice shows my lack of training and practice. From my point of view the words have to be out in front and worth listening to because there ain't much else! Having said that I have no problem listening to good singers, like Ian Woods, all night long (and next morning if he's kipped on the sofa). I do know, though, that good musicians make much more of my songs than I am capable of - and that's through a combination of both vocal and instrumental musicality.
