So you were the person who shouted abuse at me as you left. I have and always run sessions as fairly as I can but just for evryone information the session started shortly after 8.30. There were already a lot of people wanting to sing and play (yes some were 'mates'. As I recall it I sang 3 songs so where 5 or 6 comes I'm blowed if i know (I went out of the session for 10 minutes to talk to a reporter qho was doing an article). Shoz you arrived at the session around 10, I did notice you and gave you a turn and I did notice that you were joining in with instruments in other songs/tunes. We did not have an extension this year so we had to wrap up at 11.20 (although agian you fail to mention you struck up a tune on your melodeon after the official finish). To summarise I believe I did things fairly (as I always do). You got a turn (although you arrived for the later part of the evening. I believe I was welcoming yo new comers. If you were unhappy the perhaps the way forward is not be rude on the way out I certainly wasnm't rude to you. Oh and by the way I've been running sessions for over 25 years what about you !
