Seems to me that the Sidmouth errors could have been on either side.

Was it one of the Folk scene standard songs Thousands or More, Wedding Song or any of thousands of other songs. If so the oncoming group should have swapped it for a reserve song or at least apologised somehow even saying something like "We hope you like our version of the song just sung by..... " would have been better.

However if the song was one the act have recorded or are known for then the floor singer should have known that the act were to follow and sung another song.

If we are to lay blame at either door we need the full facts but again I don't think this is the place to name names and one upsetting incident should not blind us to all the good stuff that is out there.
