yes i can see ones nearer the front have experiance and are very confidant they know their stuff

an encouragement for the shy ones at the back and there mabe be some you know who are a bit intimidated by the wonderful strong voices many have

the new people must be nervous sometimes

good examples at the front ......hands that know how to move

after watching this channel it just makes you want to praise the lord and shout Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

@ScottishFiddleLesson Thanks for all your appreciative comments. About those 'strong voices,' it is customary for everyone to just throw themselves into this singing, all out all the time. They make everyone feel welcome and encourage new people to sit beside someone who knows the music and sing along. When I was learning, I didn't feel nervous about trying to sing because nobody could hear my voice anyway, and the strong voices sort of pulled mine in with them if you know what I mean.
