I know that this is a worldwide site and what most of us do in small parts of the world is unimportant but we have used Mudcat to share information and have recieved many good wishes and many passers-by have joined us for Songs and Tunes at The Beech.

Songs and Tunes at The Beech

But we have fallen to one of the oldest traditions in Folk Music - we found a really good pub, gathered a brilliant collection of musicians and friends, played good music for years - then got asked to leave for no reason that makes sense to us.

We are not taking it personally or even collectively - The Monday Irish, The Tuesday Cajun Session and the 'Comedy' Night have also been asked to go.

However we have been made most welcome at The Dulcimer Bar:

The Dulcimer Bar

It's in the middle of Chotlon cum Hardy, its a very smart bar, the acoustics are good and the beer is excellent and even cheaper than that at The Beech and the staff are brilliant.

All details on our weby:

Which is still called Folk at The Beech - until we get to the bottom of changing

We still sing songs mostly but not exclusively on 1st & 3rd Tuesdays now and play tunes on 2nd & 4th Tuesdays because the Dulcimer is busy on Wednesdays.

We trust that people who have joined us previously will continue to do so and new friends will make the trek.

Thanks for all good wishes

Les pp The Beech Band
