I must say I find this lacks a bit of creativity. So you get the benefit of a mega-professional backing track to which you add your own dulcet tones.
The onrush of technology has seen the opportunity to "download" tracks from other artists which have no singing on them allowing one to sing along with Benny Goodman's band or Glen Miller or whomever. I only have a personal opinion as I do about the other issue which seems to have emerged in recent times. However, there is no specific criticism here and it is not for me to make a corporate comment about anything. My own motivation for starting the night at the Six Bells was about creating an opportunity for people to play and we, Paul and myself, tried to establish a night which would consider and be sensitive to other events and make it easier, and clearer, for people to attend. It is not as if there is an endless supply of participants and performers and it would seem more beneficial to give performers more opportunity by allowing them all to attend as many evenings as possible. So, with reference to this, I might make the personal observation that it would seem logical that anyone promoting live music events would not want their arrangements to conflict with other things going on.
Some recent issues, which have been mentioned to me, I cannot completely ignore and whether, or not, they play a significant part in our evenings remains a matter for conjecture so I will, politely, make a considered response. It was interesting to be presenting another evening at the folk and blues night.
