Whilst Mick did a great job in running the evening sessions it's a great shame that for all those who attended both in just listening and for those who sang it was a great shame that all was partly spoilt by the noise from those who were present just drinking and talking. At times on the two evenings that I could attend I had to virtually sing as loud as I could, for those like the ladies it was impossible to hear what they were singing which all is a great shame. I love singarounds especially at festivals as it brings out a diverse of songs from other than the area one lives in. I attended also two lunchtime sessions at the Rowing Club and there without any background noise it was just the opposite, a pleasure both to sing and to listen without straining both voice and ears. I appreciate The Endeavour is a pub but a door between the bar and lounge area, I'll call it, would be a blessing and I could see from the expressions on Mick's face that he wished the same also. Hope to see you next year. Mick, oh you forgot to mention David and Ower Han at the singarounds, not to worry, you did well in the circumstances.
