Who told you that you can't "carry a tune?" Quote.
About 17/18 years ago a female member of the folk world, also a mudcat member said "I've heard worse, but I can't remember where" So I stopped going to folk clubs.
I never recovered from that, she took so much away from me, I see her once a year, she will not remember saying it, but the damage is done.
I need help to repair it.

Who told you that you can'r "carry a tune?" If it is your own assessment, it's probably wrong.

An idea - go to a shanty session/festival. Bring an honest friend to stand with you, an sing out on the choruses, then ask your friend his/her opinion.

Another approach would be to spend a few bucks/quid on a voice instructor and get an evaluation.

But don't give up !

What exactly do you mean, Skipy???

Okay, let's begin with this question... Can you sing??? I mena, do you know how to sing??? Can you hold a tune???

If the answer to these questions is "No" then no need to go much further...

If it's "yes" then maybe we need to look for other venues that are more open???

I want to sing, you have NO idea how MUCH I want to sing, I beat myself up everytime I come home from a festival without singing.
What can I do so that I can sing, it is getting me down so much, otherwise I would not ask for help! (asking for help is not my way normally)
