I'm not bothered one way or the other about people joining in. I was just commentng above that at the Beacon session I go to it's not automatic. At High Brooms, it varies according to the song. I was expecting joining in at Seven Stars, so wasn't worried.

It sounded a little odd doing "Breakfast Blues" though, as I had 2 turnarounds I was using, one for the intro and first 2 verses, and a different one at the end. Someone to my left was playing a turnaround that sounded to "clash" a bit with mine. Didn't put me off...the combined turnarounds just sounded a bit muddled.

"Man of Kent" I simply buggered up, as I'd learned Stuart Pendrill's version and then heard Bob K do the original. The two versions were merging in my head as I played, and I kept losing the "thread". I heard Trevor suggest I'd be better "on my own" as I played, but it wasn't the joining in that messed me up, it was having 2 versions of the song in my head!!!
