So many questions guest Denise, lets break it down, 1."you people" is a term "if the hat fits 2.They may well be people who use Mudcat, they never really get chatting, there to unfriendly. 3.It happens at a few different pubs I'v visted, mind you only twice, the first time, ok I new give it time, on the second visit I think if you want to behave like that won't bother again. 4.I like to play the type of music that fits the evening and the people. 5.If someone came to our folk jam and announced "I *hate* folk music!! etc etc even we wouldn't welcome him/her ( can't be sexist) 6. NO I would dream of joining in with anyone who was been paid, unless I was asked, even then I would think twice about it. Your the ones been paid, you bloody well work for it (joke) :-)
