What works for us:
*light touch MC - others who can cover whenever needed (rarely)
* no heavy restrictions on what people sing/play
*space for unready guitarists to come back in soon (maintains fairness)
*have fun!

We typically have a singer base of 8-15 a night. Bigger singer bases and it can change character - depends on what your happy with - and how many songs people expectt from youir singaround. Smaller? Still normally a good time - more chance to chat and learn about songs.

We are Brighton Singers Folk Club, set up Day 1 as a singaround in 1980 (founders inspired by Fred Baxters's original "singaround" Lewes, Sussex, England - mid 1970s).

Come and join us - main weekly session, Wednesdays, The Pond pub, Gloucester Road, near Brighton main railway station (9pm ish)
