Subject: RE: Folk Club / Session Etiquette
Hey if you are in the Grimsby area this coming Saturday
Feel free to pop into the Central Library and sing us a songs..
We can only guarantee you 10 minutes or 2 songs.
Sometimes we can stretch it to 3 or we might get a second go round depends who shows up..
If your ego don't fit in with that in some way don't come.
There is no P.A.but the well trained audience and fellow performers in waiting..can be silent or emulate any level of background noise you desire.
The preset position, however is silence while listening...
Folks ask you if they want you to join in and sometimes ask if they can play along..the answer, if not offensive is accepted with no argument or bad feeling.
Its from 12 noon until 3pm..Entry is free.
All degrees of ability welcome. All music/poetry stories etc that will fit in the lift and doesn't need plugging in or batteries is/are welcome..
There is no bar..and you may want to bring some refreshments
