Those opportunities need a catalyst though, and a benign sort of leadership to not only get it going, but focus the vision. I always carp on about my anarchist ideals, but good singarounds start with good leaders, of which Chorlton is a classic example. I can think of a few more (and will name Ian McCulloch of Durham and Ron Baxter of Fleetwood) but I'm now more of a sesh man really, either that or gigs and fields. Maybe this belongs in a different thread? Either way, we hope to get back to Chorlton one of these days...
