Subject: RE: The appeal of 'Singers Nights'
Towersy folk festival, or rather the pub down the road, hit on a damn good way of getting round the who does what where problem. In one bar they had "it's got to have a chorus" in another they had a kind of free for all ( in direct competition with an instrumental jam in the bar next door, it was quite often amusing ) and in the barn out side, they had a more formal 'sing-a-round'. I have in previous years spent almost the entire festival in the pub, only coming out for specific items on the festival programme.

The Wareham wail works on a similar basis, but I have no idea on their attitude towards melodeons!
