Of course bassoonists are welcome. At the Sloop in Barton there are normally eight or nine9 naked bassoonsists, daubed in woad, banging their instruments on the walls, ankle-deep in mdf funiture fragments. Bad singing is also welcomed at the Sloop, but we remain circumspect about concertinas. Particularly MK1s. Next time I'm in Boscombe I'll come to your practice-and-jam shop, and have a bit of a play in reception. Keep in touch regarding Lincoln, and I'll let you know where the sessions are. I'm sure you will have a warm welcome.
