It depends on the character of those present. Some are elitist (I particularly remember a couple of sessions run by two...(oh forget it, it's a long time ago now!) in London)....most aren't. I don't bother with the former sort any more as life's too short!

Sensitivity, tolerance and good humour tend to characterise a good and welcoming session. Excellent music and/or singing is an added plus. When you get all this together a session can be mighty indeed!
