GUEST,GS Enjoying gigs and being good (or not) (125* d) RE: Enjoying gigs and being good (or not) 11 Aug 06

Performance motivation....conditions....health.....confidence on the day...knowing your material....atmosphere of the place...shall I go on? There are so many variables... If you don't like doing it..don't do it. If you do like doing it, get on with it and do it your way within the borders of what the 'constrictions' allow.
20+ yrs ago I was a confident Folk singer...due to reasons I won't go into I left the Folk scene for 18 yrs... I have come back to Folk singing and started songwriting but am finding the singing difficult as my voice is not what it used to be and my confidence has consequently lessened. I still have a go at my local clubs now and again and I sing amongst friends but have put my own limits on myself.
I believe we should do what we are comfortable with IF we want to do it at all.
Best wishes, Mike.
