"maybe you should start one to revive the revival?"
Not being part of a living tradition, retreating to your home would be meaningless - in fact, a retreat
The problem with pub singing you lay yourself open to hostility from locals who may not be into that sort of thing or singing over a noise
We have descriptions of kitchen singing where long ballads could be sung to a totally receptive audience - can't think of a pub I've ever been in where that could happen
The same goes for good music sessions - we constantly hear complaints from some of our best musicians about being treated as 'muzak' in pubs
