I can think of two get togethers over this Easter which are free and mainly for session players. Not everyone wants to listen to others playing or singing all night. Some people want to play or sing themselves. OK someone has to organise these events, and more power to their generous elbows for so doing, but once you take away the business of paying artists to perform you have a win win situation. Those who want to listen can listen without paying for more than their drinks and those who want to play usually have a choice of session types to attend, usually tune sessions or singarounds. In these times of tightened pockets I'd like to see more of these.
