I like to get a pint in at a singaround, when will I be able to if all the performers are faultless. Beginners need to boost their confidence, but a regular exercise book singer should be encouraged to learn his words, a mass exit to the bar gives out the right message. It was frowned upon in my early days to crib the words, you could get away with a few la,la,la's. Chords sequence stuck to a guitar was allowed.

Hard to police nowadays without losing potential performers.
