Subject: RE: Folk Club Manners
Please Jim Enlighten me re incompetent singing. You dont have to write a book.
With the help and encouragement of the folk at the club I attend I have managed to ditch the lyric sheet, ditch the music sheet and both sing and play with confidence. But it was helpful having both to begin with at the start. To avoid distraction and the odd Idiot I have also learned to do both with me eyes lightly shut. Inregards to aldiences buggering off else where well it dont happen at the club I attend indeed the numbers seem to get bigger and return each week with friends in tow.
The club I attend is not situated above a Pub. The Pubs gone and we thought it would have a inpact on the members but no it did not.ok some have gone not to return but we are allowed to bring our own beer with us damn sight cheeper.
A decent club with decent commitee and reasonable subs and above help and partisipation with learners is what makes the club I attend so good . Ok its not strictly folk folk folk Trad but whats wrong with that?
