I do like the idea of a prompter!

I find that a timely verbal reminder from someone works much better than glancing at a songsheet. The latter tends to interrupt my flow and make it difficult to get back on track; probably something to do with neural pathways, switching quickly from auditory memory to visual stimulus and back again.

Wanted: One Prompter, hours variable and as required, for folk club singarounds and song & ale weekends. Must be musically competent, GSOH essential. Salary £0.00/hour, time-and-a-half for unsocial hours. No reimbursement of expenses. Apply in writing, enclosing full CV, to Andy7, c/o Prompter Thread, Mudcat Cafe, The Internet.
