We were in some sars/seshes at Glasson last w/end- just ordinary spontaneous unled ones.

Part way through the evening one, some people came in saying they'd come to run the session & went on to do 2 songs themselves then indicated who'd follow in succession doing 2 songs each.

We were a little put out by this & it was pointed out that the event had been running satisfactorily unled all afternoon & evening.


Explanation given was they were paid to 'lead' the session?

As mentioned above, sars/sesshes don't need to be led other than perhaps to ensure anyone a bit shy gets a go & this is what was already happening & does in most events anyway.

And that's my tuppence worth!
