Thread Name: Folk Club / Session Etiquette
Subject: RE: Folk Club / Session Etiquette
Its simple really - at sessions anyone can join in because thats what a session is about. At singarounds its easy enough to ask others not to join in unless asked. My favourite Tom Paxton story (1960's) when he was at the Philharmonic Hall in liverpool made it clear that the audience were welcome to join in the chorus but not in the verses. Otherwise, he said, I/ll go and sit in the pub opposite and phone the doorman to tell them what to sing next.
