Thread Name: Unwanted Accompaniment
Subject: RE: Unwanted Accompaniment
McGarth, as I've indicated, my wife asked the Bohran player politely not to continue, this was ignored and he not only carried on but his partner joined in. It isn't practical to stop singing halfway through a song and therefore I put up with it, but felt the people in question needed to be made aware that their contribution was not welcome.
I want to do this in a way that does not cause friction, my reaction of wanting to tell them to **** *** was because they ignored a reasonable request to stop.
It was not possible for the organiser to intervene as this in itself may have caused a "scene" and I have to say I do not agree it was his responsibilty he is not paid to run the session but quitely mantains an orderly procession of performers. We did speak about it later and he said he would have a word but I do not feel he should have to shoulder such burdens
