Thread Name: Chippenham Festival Late Night Music Ses
Subject: RE: Chippenham Festival Late Night Music Ses
It is very sad when things get to this stage. I have sung in the late night sessions on the campsite for a serious number of years and expect sessions of this sort to happen. Nevertheless, one of the reasons we started the Fox and Hounds sings was because, even 12 years ago, the sessions were being stopped. Because of the nature of F&H, ie it's not a festival, it's just somewhere to go for a weekend to sing and if you want to play you can, but it's not a music session, you can sing all night without anyone complaining or stopping you.. and we have. If anyone wants to come and sing all night they are very welcome, and , as it is in the skittle alley, not the bar, people of all ages can join us. Whatever anyone says, sessions are going to happen - it's a folkie fact of life.
