Hi all,

Just to clear up a few points – the session was originally intended as a focal point for 'younger' singers' who wouldn't regularly attend singing sessions. They have all been well attended by a great mix of singers from various backgrounds and age groups, and in this regard calling it a 'session for young singers' has become quite redundant, and tbh is probably something that we will move away from. Apologies for any offence caused Jim, many singers often joke about the 'younger singers' thing, asking if they will need to produce a birth cert at the door etc. - the point about old singers was merely a bad attempt at some light humour on my part, and I do take your point about maintaining such false distinctions and the divisions they may cause….As Fergus has pointed out we all have great admiration and respect for those who have carried the tradition down to our generation. Indeed, respect and an attentive ear can be guaranteed to any singer who comes to join us. Joe Offer – we do meet on the first Sunday of every month and you would be more than welcome to join us. Right, I'd better get down there and get set up!
