Thread Name: Singaround - origins of the word?
Subject: RE: Singaround - origins of the word?
What Don Firth calls a song circle is what I've always thought everyone meant by a singaround. There are other formats, blackboard concerts, open mikes (with or without a moderator,) informal concerts where the compere picks people, etc.
So first can someone establish what is the official description of 'A Singaround.' >:->
NZ was the first colonial country to give native people the vote, too. Maori men only, of course. Before European women!
