"Ours is the music of ordinary,working,thinking,caring,people and we all have something to contribute."

Hhhhhmmmm! Where have I heard that before? Trouble is that that sort of platitude too often translates into low quality, "it's good enough for folk" music. And at far too many singarounds it's far too often the music of ordinary, lazy, unthinking people who couldn't give a shit about their fellow singaround attendees. And, no, I'm not talking about beginners or improvers or people with nerves or people who have occasional problems with pitching or forgetting the words. I'm talking about the oaf who turns up week after week after week, clutching his tattered notebook, and insists on droning and mumbling his way through an interminable 90 verse ballad!
