Thread Name: BS: Nightmare Line Ups
Subject: RE: BS: Nightmare Line Ups
I first walked into the music session at Towersey one year to find 27 melodeons, 2 piano accordions, 7 bodhrains and a proper slide trombone, packed into the main bar, about the size of your average portakabin..... There may have been a fiddle or two in there, I couldn't hear. I found the song sessions in another building altogther, VERY quickly!!

As for singing lineups - don't even get me started!!!!! We have an alto that sings very loudly even if she doesn't know it, sings her own arrangements, regardless that it doesn't fit with what every other alto/instrument is doing and a descant singer who can't get further up than F#..... Oh, and a bass curate, who when pitching songs (we don't always have the organist), pitches them too high for the middle range, because he is paranoid about pitching them too low!!
