If you sing something that makes everyone else in the room WANT to sing then might that be better?
I say this off the back of last night. I went for a sing in Thirsk (North Yorkshire) at a friend's folk club at the Three Tuns Hotel.
By chance there were Black Umfolosi 5 staying in the hotel on tour. The format Terry has is a two song go round the room singaround and they did their turn and sang WONDERFULLY.
Young and old - blues fan - folkie - young lads who like their rock stuff etc were bowled over. But everyone came away thinking that the coolest think in the world is to sing.
