Subject: RE: Help: Sidmouth Sessions
Martin: There certainly is greatunaccompanied (mostly chorus) singing in the Anchor Middle Bar. I shall be wearing my yellow Tshirt this year. But watch out for potential throat problems caused by trying to sing too high and too loudly in a sometimes smokey atmosphere!
Last year I also liked the laid back garden sessions in the Swan in the afternoons. I was well impressed by one guy who proceeded to play (brilliantly!) four different instruments - violin, whistle, Northumbrian pipes and melodean - for the four times it came round to his turn to perform. I was eagerly awaiting his fifth turn but unfortunately it never came. [Well at least he couldn't sing! Or I suppose he might have chosen not to do so, given he was such a good musician!]

Mary: Very sorry you won't be able to make it! Hope to see you around somewhere else soon. Enjoy ...!

Kitty: Hope to drop in to one or two of your sessions in the Theatre Bar. Sometimes I do like to sing in a more restrained way, honestly!

Come all ye bold heroes give an ear to my song ...
