Thread Name: Criticism at singarounds
Subject: RE: Criticism at singarounds
As I have said several times and you have chosen to persistently ignored - resident singers were asked not to repeat the same song over a period of three months - I was there enough to know that this was fairly closely followed, so the likelihood of any of them repeating the same song in the space of two weeks is extremely unlikely, as is the ability of a casual visitor to be able to claim - with any degree of accuracy, that they could tell (over that period) that two performances were identical other than in text and tune."
I have no reason to suppose that the person who gave me their opinion of MacColls singing was lying, this person was a stalwart of the revival, and a highly respected singer.
at no point have I said that the person who gave me their opinion[ and Imight remind you their opinion was only a minor criticism] saw this performance at the singers club, it was in fact a gig MacColl was doing, so your comments about what happened at the singers club bear no relevance whatsoever.
Jim, you continue to get over excited and jump to wrong conclusions.
