Maybe i should start a new thread entitled 'open pub singalongs ran by
self important oafs'
I've been to an open session a few times at a local pub run by the
landlord who advertises it in the local press saying that 'newcommers are more than welcome'

anyway sat in a corner playing a banjo is the most objectionable person
you'd ever want to meet.His idea of welcoming 'newcommers' consists of what
i've witnessed are sarcastic comments to any new person who tries to
join in. Very offputting to say the least.

Is this common practise in open pub singalongs.

Do you always get 'one' like this in every open pub singalongs ?

for heavens sake these are not concerts i thought they were meant to
be enjoyable experiences... a few people sat around sharing music.

If I wanted to be criticized id of stayed at home with the wife !!........
