The attraction? and I apologise for shouting but:

NO F***ING MELODEONS!!!!!

It's often a lot quieter and more laid back, it's also a good forum for trying new stuff you've learnt/written or practising for a band gig. However, many the singaround singer has acquired delusions of adequacy for a singing career after a polite reception from a singaround who are too embarassed for them to say they were shite.

And there is something about starting a song alone, and then having 20 or more voices join in on the chorus.... a high that just can't be beaten (leastways, not in a public place and with your clothes on...... unless that's your bag..... er... better shut up now....). LTS
