Vin Garbutt reckoned shortly after it was his hardest night ever, Worcester - the Bush c1984
The audience thought it was the best night he did
the worst offender was one of the organisers, but it has to be said Vin just has a way of saying things that the intelligent can really appreciate and the drunks can't quite catch.
in a session/SAR there is very little that can be done with a person who craves attention. Give it to them and they feel rewarded, ignore and they keep craving.
If you all go and sit around her and invite her to sing, she will either be so bad you can all comment loudly or probably refuse, so you keep staring at her till she feels uncomfortable.
The problem with any such confrontation is that it needs concerted effort from what is a loose cohesion of persons and will you feel good about it at the end of it?
Is there a cracking, loud chorus song about loudmouths that you all know? Would she be listening?
Should there be one in the DT? Is there anyway?
