Subject: RE: Folk Club / Session Etiquette
Acorn4 says 'I think fiddlers are probably often the worst offenders with songs - there is a knack to accompanying which involves subtly playing in the background - a lot fiddlers tend to swamp a song' and generally I'd agree but it reminds me of a young fiddle player Jess (Richmond, N.Yorks) fairly new to folk sessions who understood how to sidle in here and there to the extent that I found myself choosing songs that I reckoned she could benefit. Done well it's a treat.
