Well said there Les - I go to lots of singarounds, well I don't go to concerts and very rarely to guests at folk clubs and I think people in singarounds are very supportive of 'new' singers, nervous singers and quiet voices, plus it's the only place where the 'I wrote this last night brigade' can try out their songs!! As you can guess sometimes I think we are too supportive, yes I'll listen the the later type but will only applaud if the song was OK or better and boy have I heard some dire self-written songs over the years! Happy people don't seem to want to write them!!
