Hi Genie - No, I don't hate a crib sheet at all, although I believe too many people rely on one too much, nor do I have any feud with goatfell. I do believe that, as Howard says, the orchestral musician needs the music - to know when to come in if nothiong else - whereas the folk club performer doesn't. I also take exception to anyone calling a whole swaith of people 'dickheads' because they believe that the performance would be better without a crib sheet. It is their opinion and they are entitled to have it without being abused by people who cannot even learn lyrics!

Cheers
