Prompted by what Jim has just said, and a comment from Howard on another thread, I've often expressed concern about being too accepting and encouraging people to 'perform' who are not actually good enough.

As you will have gathered, I'm very much of the opinion that the 'singaround' situation should be inclusive and accepting, but I've seen numerous instances of people performing, (floor spots, open nights etc) who really have not yet mastered their craft, but are then told how wonderful they are, whereas perhaps there should be more honest feedback.
