Well it was, unfortunately, somewhat hard work in that bar with the locals in, but when we do the Thursday night sessions, it's only us so much quieter and easier. Loudness of singing comes with practice so the more you do, the louder you'll get. When I was first singing I asked someone how it had sounded and they said "It was good, but a bit quiet". I haven't been accused of singing quietly for a long time!
Next sessions should be either 17th or 22nd December...I'll put a thread up shortly
