Went to the Nenagh Singers Circle website, and enjoyed reading about them. I really liked this quote:
"It is imperative that people understand that we are promoting ALL singing and we do not want people to think that the Circle is biased towards one type or genre. It is only the act of singing which is important and no standards are set. Each person who performs will be afforded the same respect no matter what style they choose and regardless of their level of ability. Poetry and monologues are also welcome.

We cannot overemphasize that the circle needs good listeners as well as good singers. Everybody is welcome to attend and no pressure will be put on anyone who does not wish to sing or is a little nervous. As a matter of policy, everyone who attends will be invited to perform but there will be no undue pressure applied should anyone decline".

I love that part about circles needing good listeners as well as good singers. Reminds me of the thread on how to be heard in a rowdy bar. alice in mt.
