Not about spoons but on the theme.

I was a bit upset and annoyed last year at the Faversham hop festival. As a volunteer helper I had agreed to run the live music sessions. On the Friday evening, we had started our ( mostly but not exclusively ) singing session at one end of the bar room, as we had done for far too many years to count, when for the first time ever, a group of musicians turned up and started their own session in a room adjacent but not totally seperate from the main room. This meant that only the loudest singers could carry on, and had to sing at full volume.

I know a session does not ' belong' to anybody as such, nor does the right to use any particular pub, but I was disappointed and surprised at the lack of courtesy shown by these musicians, especially as they were mostly not inexperienced yougsters. There is no shortage of pubs in Faversham, so why pick on the one where the sing around/ session was already going on? They had to walk past us to get to the other room. Fortunately they did not turn up the following evening.

Was I right to be surprised and a bit annoyed at what I considered discourteous behaviour, or should I have just accepted it as the way folk musicians are today?
