The regulars here are still slugging it out on the "Dose anyone like Bodhrans?" thread. I respect them all and what they have to say is important.
However, I would like to know how everyone else feels about their own sessions. Do you feel that you and your session members are performing for the patrons?
In my own case, our session usually has a handful of people who applaud on the louder tunes (where we all join in) - with exceptions to that, of course. We're happy to recieve the appreciation and encouragement, but I think that we'd be just as happy without it. We've come together to have a musical conversation with each other - that's the main reason why we're there.
Nuff said, now it's your turn.
Yeah but no but......
Seriously, folks, I do appreciate it when others in the bar show their appreciation, but it's the peer group, ie the other musicians, that count the most. All this links in nicely with the "Why the MU doesn't understand us " theme I came up with recently, and also our friend with the "school for removing your stage fright" scam.
Are we performing, or is it all pleasing yourself in the wilderness ? Or is there a higher, or deeper, purpose ? Answers please, on a £50 note, to.....
I have fun at our session whether there are punters there or not. If they show up and large numbers and begin laughing really loud and talking to each other as if they're in opposite corners of the room -- I want to run them all out. If they're talking quietly enough so we can hear each other and our selves it's the best because I know that it supports the pub and the results show up in the till the next day. That will help insure the pub continues to allow us to be part of their Sunday or Tuesday nights. If some of the punters think we're giving some sort of performance it doesn't bother me. If they're enjoying the music and having a good time there's no harm in that. Even if it's not quite accurate, it's still positive and adds to the good buzz in the pub.
Occasionally, early in the evening before many other musicians arrive all or most of the punters in the room will have come in to hear the music. If they're sitting all around us and watching closely I always feel a bit awkward because some might be expecting us to present the music and announcing what we're going to play and such. Instead they hear us talking about whatever comes to mind and sharing jokes and such between tunes. When more punters and musicians show up things settle into something we're more comfortable with, but those instances where the only punters in the pub are there just to hear us are very rare and are the only time when the conflict of perception has any affect on me.
we have this odd but workable thing going. If you are out of tune its tolerated with some notable exceptions, constantly out of tune will get you talked to quietly, then - not so quietly.
If you can play something - anything you are welcome, there are no invitations ever.
There is no inner circle, everyone is equal and there is no king or queen, we take requests although singing dirty old town gets tiresome more than once a month. We sing and play anything from bluegrass to ITM to morris tunes. We may even (as the night progresses) start jamming with a key, time and rhythmn and progress from there. We have many talented attendees who play professionally in various genres, all come because its fun, relaxed we stretch our playing confidence musical skills and anything goes. Although the odd bohdran player has been politely handed an egg shaker.
At the end of the day you have to think a bit, a you going there to play and enjoy yourself or just play?
Hang on! Stunning blonde fiddle player here!! And I'm absolutely brilliant at playing too, or so all the guys tell me Anyway, I suppose that although I don't go to a session to perform, I go to just have a socialble night out and play some music, there must always be an awareness that people are listening. If that makes it a performance then I have to grudgingly admit it may be. In purely blonde terms though, it's only a performance if it's worth putting on full make-up and best outfit. So folks, if you really want to know if it's a performance, check out what the blondes are wearing! (Just don't tell your wives/girlfriends)
It doesn't matter if you want or intend to perform or not - if there are people there who are listening but not playing, then you are performing, like it or not.
And dark-haired girls are generally much better looking, anyway.
Dose-do? As in dance instructions?
Dose-perform - a variation of dose-do?
Dowse-drink - finding the beer with the aid of a forked stick.
These discussions are making me crazy, as you can see.
If brunettes are so smart, why do so many of them dye their hair blonde? Another figure to throw into the equation is whether players with "Session Waist" are better musicians than players without? And, would it then matter if they were blonde or brunette?
It's blonde! Blonde! BLONDE!!!!! Anyway, which shade of brown is Britney? I need to get it right now....and why is it called semi-permanent? That's an oxymoron if ever I heard one!
So anyway......... Mother Theresa dies and goes to Heaven where God Himself is waiting to meet her. After showing her around Heaven for a while, He asks her if she's hungry and they settle down to a small meal of sardines and crackers. Mother Therisa happens to glance down at Hell and notices everybody eating a wonderful 5 course meal.
Um God, she says, I don't mean to be rude, but I notice that the food in Hell looks very interesting......
Oh, I know, says God ...... but it's not all that much fun to cook for only 2 people.
oooh Religion! Now, can't we get struck off for that?
Has anyone noticed that blondes only go to sessions where there are big carparks? And they arrive early so there are plenty of spaces left? And, they only go to sessions where the barman knows what they drink because they can never remember? And, they have to sit down to play because standing up and playing is just too complicated? And they only play in 3/4 because they can't count any higher?
That wraps it up for me.
I was trying to encourage other people (besides The Session bigwigs) to give their take on the play versus performance issue..........
but we didn't get very far with it.
Oh well, no harm done.
Sorry Morning Star, you must have caught us on Happy Hour I'm not sure we'll ever get a definitive answer to the question as it seems to be a matter of opinion more than anything. Perhaps it's possible to have several people in the same session, some of whom are convinced they are performing and some who are convinced they are not. It could at least give us something to talk about between tunes.
Better luck with your next thread
To be serious for a moment, I think that a session is & isn't a performance - at the same time!
I believe most musicians in sessions aren't actually 'performing' at all, I reckon they are simply there for the music & the fun.
I admit, you may get the odd 'show off' who is on some sort of 'performing seal', look at me folks I'm brilliant, kind of trip, but for the most part, I think the session players are in a wee musical bubble of enjoyment, oblivious to the punters around them.
However, I do suspect that most punters in the bar probably imagine that the session is some sort of a performance, but because they think it is, doesn't necessarily make it so.
So to answer your question star, I believe most people do not 'perform' at sessions.
Thanks for the good laugh oldstrings.
Guernsey Pete, Phantom Button, Joze, bowburner, celtic agent, Joe CSS and Ptarmigan have answered my question quite nicely.

I was just checking the vase theory, & promoting a mirror image of my thoughts on the famous Bodhran thread next door, where I promote the reality that every session is of course a performance.
With an audience there can of course be no question, but even with no audience at all, even if only one musician was present & everyone else was deaf, they could still 'see' his performance!
Sitting in a room on your own, if you are playing music you are actually performing for yourself (notice I didn't say playing with yourself!).
Where did this notion come from, that a performance is something we should feel ashamed of?
Of course that tree does make a noise when it falls in the forest, even if nobody hears it.
Hey, the Birds & Animals hear it, don't they?
While we're waiting to see how or if Ptarmigan wishes to respond...... would anyone else care to comment on this question?
Imho......... it depends on the intent of the players..... Since they are the ones causing the commotion in the first place.
(Just my $.02)
Welcome Phantom Button - I'm hoping that we get more respones to this besides just my own. Some of us might disagree completely with me and Ptarmigan. Ptarmigan himself may disagree completely with me. Dose it matter so much?
morning star writes: "Imho......... it depends on the intent of the players..... Since they are the ones causing the commotion in the first place.
We talked about "intent" on the mega behemoth thread. This is the way I answered it.
~~~
Please study the word below.
WOW
You probably think it says "wow," but you'd be wrong. What I actually did was write "mom" upside-down. But that's ok, how could you have possibly known that was my intent unless I explained that to you first? You no doubt looked at that word and thought it said, "wow." It has all of the characteristics of the word "wow," so it must be wow. But that wasn't my intent you see.
So the question becomes, which one of us was right? My answer is of course -- we're both right.
Sorry 'm s', but the truth is, yes I do disagree with you, & of course myself too, [ well, who'd believe me anyway ] but I'm afraid it's that old story for us here, where, in some ways, everyone is right, in different ways, but isn't it fun to try & persuade the other guy that you are in fact more right than they are?
Ah well, anyway, at least I managed to persuade myself, so that's one nil to me - Ha Ha!
The MOM WOW concept is interesting.
I started this thread because I was curious as to how other Session readers feel about this whole performance versus playing issue.
In my own session, I can sense that some of us come with more intent to ‘perform’ than others do. Several people show up with more intent to share friendship and tunes -
So it's no surprise to me that people have very differing opinions about it. I personally have absolutely no interest in trying to change anyone's mind here.
I also believe there to be various shades of "truth" in life, whatever that happens to be! At the risk of losing this thread - I'd venture to say that only God knows the truth to anything.
It was my "open mic" crowd. We all sang but nobody performed. Or everyone performed. God knows.
I'm from the Pacific NorthWest, and I'm CRUSHED to learn that God doesn't exist, Mr. Noxious!
