Hey just got back was great weekend lots beer, lots new friends lots music,sessions until Half five in morning.
Got to jam with some brilliant musicians,boys and girls with so many years experience and tremendous depth of knowledge of their musical traditions.
Met a lady who was at the Brandy wharf sessions a few weeks ago and was brave and asked her how many songs she has,Hundreds all in one lasses head and she was not the only one there either.
We heard everything from geordy dialect songs to Elvis,Irish,scots and welsh tunes and songs.
Met our first ever professional lady bass player and she was absolutly lovely joined in when Jen and I played and asked us to play when she did.
FOr those who have never been Staithes is a beautiful place to see dont just drive past next time you are on that part of the coast go for a walk and do yourself a favour.
If Tony has his way next years will be even better with more of the local pubs and cafes offering the use of their premises ,some out of hours Just for us.
Cheers Tony and Dennis and Dave and shaun and bev and Tim and anne marie and carol and .............
All of you.
