Saw JOHNNY COLLINS at Lewes Arms FC (Lewes) last night - one of the best unaccompanied singers around.

Unlike Amber's egotistical booking seeker who was bored by everyone bar himself, Johnny last night was joining in with all the floor singers' chorus songs - well known or not. Excellent!

Amber's booking seeker should learn the ethics enjoyed by all at last night's excellent folk night forthwith!

And I've seen all the rude behaviour highlighted by Amber at a bar singaround (since abandoned) a few years ago. What gets me is that some folk singers are actually ruder and more disruptive once they've done their supermarverelous party piece than a drunken punter just straying in!
