Just off to the singaround - will start the session off then see who next to me - left or right - is ready first. It's they who determine the direction of the circle for the evening. We now do a once-round with singers there by the 9pm start - then add in later singers in circuit number 2. Eveyone knows the pattern so everyone should know when to be ready for their song. Duos, by the way get two - as do trios. Bigger than that is by discreson - some groups have the variety - others are best left at two - bringing them in for a third later in the circle for contrast can be better if you still want to be scrupulously fair; ie one song from everyone. We don't generally do play or pick as this can lead to favouritism and resentment. Ian Fyvie
