Thread Name: Secrets of a good singaround?
Subject: RE: Secrets of a good singaround?
I concur with others that tastes vary as to what makes a good singaround, I think the signaround can cater for many of these tastes, it is an opportunity for people who don't perform, with a song or two to sing, to get them out, an opportunity to get some sort of recognition when you're starting out, and also having a sing when your voice isn't particularly good or strong enough to lead a song. For me the beer hall at Mystic has it about right, performers are encouraged to turn up and join in, but the paying public, by and large, get to lead the songs and jump in when you can! Great atmosphere. The best singaround for me was at the first winter warmer at KFFC with us, Young'uns, Keepers Fold and Jez Lowe + others......quite a chorus.
