So from the comments, it does look as though I have a different view of singarounds to most. To be fair, I don't get to as many as I probably should, but just to say again, my experience of singarounds in this part of the world is that they are about 'taking part' rather than 'performing' and are friendly and inclusive.

I don't see sitting round in a group of friends taking turns to sing as a performance, but taking part for the pleasure of doing so.

Performing, to me is being in front of an audience, not other singers, who may or may not have paid to be there, and should expect a polished 'show'
