Subject: RE: Folk Club / Session Etiquette
And I forgot to say - if I happen to break into a song at a session, I always make spaces for the accompanying melody instruments to take a solo if they want to. In the style developed by Bob Wills of course. "Play away fiddles, play away!", etc.
It's all good fun, with the casual accompaniment of the till, orders at the bar, the buzz of conversation from the locals, someone breaking off from playing to greet an old acquaintance, people coming and going.
