.........all can be examples of good crowd-pleasers but sometimes musicians and singers don't seem to want to do Chorus songs to please and include the lively audience.
I guess it depends on just how 'lively' the audience is.
It does seem a shame to me however when a 'session' turns its back on an interested audience and they just do their own thing. Unfortunately I have seen this happen on far more occasions than I care to remember
If players and singers are in a public setting (e.g a pub)I really do feel that it is only polite and courteous for them to make some effort to include and please the public.

Hope I am not introducing a negative element to your thread GUEST,cmt49 because I fully support you in starting this thread and,like you,I want to encourage people to do more Chorus Songs.

Some of the best sessions I have ever been to have been when this was done well and everyone in the venue had a really fantastic night. All go home with happy memories and extol the virtues and sheer fun of folk music to family and friends. That's how the tradition spreads and prospers.

Let's encourage Chorus songs for the lively and interested audience -absolutely! All I am trying to say (rather long-windedly - sorry) is a warning that you will get some snobbish snipers from the "we won't do Chorus songs" fraternity that will try to undermine your thread.

So come on pro-Chorus songsters support this good thread, proffer your suggestions and drown out any negative flack.
