So, no, crowing.......ok, then lets try to explain why the York Tap & Spile session attracts so many youngsters. Firstly it doesn't cost anything to get in, secondly it is fun, lots of chorus songs. I have asked some of the young uns, who are not "performers", what attracts them to the session the reply is along the lines of "a good sing and a laugh", I know that the same crowd frequent Chris Barnes' session on Wednesdays which has a much more contemporary feel to it, again it's free, so, why, when I go to the Black Swan on a Thursday are they not there in the same numbers? the Black Swan is excellently run, friendly, dare I say thriving and puts on some great performers and I don't think the prices are that expensive. It could be economic, it could be a preference for a more informal atmosphere, I really can't come up with an answer has anyone any ideas? I shall work on it. I myself don't go to the Black Swan as often as perhaps I ought because I am out wednesdays and Fridays already and if I were to add Thursdays on a regular basis my wife would have me singing castrato
