I think it a matter of politeness to stop at the door if one is to cross the path of a singer or player or both.Weather on route to the bar or not its common in the clubs I attend to wait and be patient,

but having said that "in the case of the Good Intent and the session bar on a packed Saturday night I agree Richard folk should not stand in the doorway blocking it up but move on in and go to the bar I think in future we should wave folk through if they stand in the door and the singers and performers will just have to put up with it.

I say in General to wait is good mannered and polite but clearly it wont work in the Good Intent when its really busy. Wave em through I say and let them go about there course. It will save all the above palaver.

In general the singer rounds need good people like John Kevin and Simon (and to give him credit Don has well He looked after the session Saturday while John went off to dinner and handed it back later upon John,s return to run these session fairly and to keep order. Without them session go to pieces has what happened Monday night after Kevin and Growler left ie I got fed up with it all and went back to the B&B.
