One problem with the Folk World - although, to be fair, it's rather a nice 'problem'! - is that everyone is so supportive, when you sing or play, that it can be difficult to get genuine feedback.

Was my singing/playing okay? Was the volume/speed/accompaniment appropriate? Did I connect with the audience enough? Yes, yes, and yes! You were excellent! Amazing!

But how good was I, actually? Which songs/tunes did you all enjoy, and which not so much? Which songs/tunes were fun, and which were boring? These are the questions that are difficult to find answers to, when audiences are so kind and supportive!

So ... what is the best way to get genuine, constructive feedback, which might help us to continue developing our musical and performance skills, while not destroying our fragile egos?
