After the success of the sessions held on prior years at Faldingworth in Lincolnshire, the Chairman of Faldingworth Memorial Hall asked me if it was possible to have another one on Saturday June 14th 2008.

The session would be in the Village Hall from 1:00pm to 5:00pm and there would be a BBQ outside and a bar.

The hall can hold 100 people, so plenty of room for a mammoth session :-)

It would be really nice if we can get this up and running.

Any takers?

We would have to stop at 5 as we have a concert in the evening with Allan Taylor and will need to prepare for that. Tickets can be reserved in advance for that - tickets £7.

Look forward to hearing from you session players. Incidentally the villagers really enjoyed the past ones.

Cheers

Hi Rhiannon all is well here. Hope you are doing OK. So does that mean that you & Mick will partake in the session or just chill out?

Dáithí I can take that as a yes then!

Now where is Banjo Flower, Doug Chadwick, 12 String Growler, Lawrie, Whacko Jacko, Oakley, Mr & Mrs Sooz, Twangy, Rockhen and anybody else who would like to be involved?

I have found some of them
Some photo's

So their is no confusion, the scareecrow event will NOT be on and it will be in the village hall, not Brownlow's.

Good ho John. See you tonight at Lincoln. Any chance of a request for Garden Valley, or is it too late? Just listening to Cara Dillon & Sam Lakeman doing it. Gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing up.

how did the gig go BWM?
Hi Doug.
Sounds like a good fun thing to do.
trouble is some of us need the chords and stuff just to strum along
so might be there to listen.

I hope they let us newbies get a look in
I will struggle like billyoh the speed these old hands get up too.
But they were a very pleasent bunch and most of them looked quite kind.
Before anyone asks Les can we have a piano?

Of course you can, but am not sure what the level of musicians will be. It was very good last time. Maybe when we get things a bit more organised, it may be possible to do soemthing for all levels.

Whats wrong with Rockhen playing melodeon?

Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK
From: Rockhen
Date: 24 Feb 08 - 03:42 PM

I don't play it and I far prefer my piano to the piano accordion that I do play, as I am much better on the piano.
But...bring my electric piano? yeah right, I know there is a piano at Faldingworth but it isn't that great...erm...am I being unfair at assuming there may now follow a silent tumbleweed moment.............................?

Now when was the last time you came to Faldingworth Rockhen?
The piano is no longer - it is extinct - as dead as a parrot.
Look at the photo's of Jez & Kate and you will see that the piano has been replaced with the PA cupboards No Piano :-)

Apologies. You are correct it is the piano Accordian you play - just testing you :-) hrummppphhh. Is it Jacqui that plays the melodeon?

I guess all I can say, is let me sort out who will be the master of ceremonies and we can try and see if it is possible. You know I don't have a problem with piano. A touch of Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard would go down great :-)

Jacqui plays concertina, Villan. I should have remembered re the piano as I did know it had gone when the new stage and PA arrived. I do know you don't have a problem with piano. I have been playing Ray Charles and Jerry Lee tonight with the GBs as it happens, along with some rusty (the playing, not the instrument!) saxophone! There are a few months before the session anyway. My gripe is not with you re using my electric piano, Villan, so apologies in return...it is elsewhere that I am met with negativity re electric piano being considered acceptable to be played as a replacement for a traditional one.
All the best for the session and will check the thread again!

PS If anyone has strong feelings either way, about my post above, please PM me as I feel it is not the subject of the thread, so should probably be discussed elsewhere. I wish all who are involved with organising and/or those who go to the session, all the best. Let the thread continue re the original subject, as intended, lol!

The list builds slowly.
However there appears to be enough interest to make it happen, so can those that would like to be part of it, please put it in your diary.
Looking forward to it already.

Relax Les. It will happen. Sessions are informal gatherings. You don't book musicians and you certainly don't book the audience! Take a Chill-Pill, man! :-)

Not trying to do that John.
Just seeing whether there was an interest.
Its in the diary and will happen, whoever wants to come along.
I am actually doing this on bahalf and at the request of Dave Longden, not myself. It has nothing to do with the concert in the evening. Its more to do with the old scarecrow event that doesn't happen any more and the fact that the villagers enjoyed the previous sessions. Trust me for trying to help eh.
i am chilled. :-)

Errrr was the scarecrow thing too popular or too much to organise?
We went a couple of times with the grandbrat and it was lovely day out just for that and then there was great music to listen to as well.

The people that were in charge of it, just became too old to handle it anymore and unfortunately, as is often the case, nobody around to pick up the pieces and run with it.
So yes, too popular and too much to organise Tim.
There are signs of new people taking an interest in the Memorial Hall, but it has to be seen if they are willing to take on such an onerous responsibilty.
What is a shame, was that the money they made went towards helping the churches and Memorial Hall to keep their heads above water.
The only thing that the Memorial Hall makes anything on now is the concerts.
What they made in those 2 weeks of the scarecrow event where they had thousands of people visiting the village was generally sufficient to maintain the above buildings.
I would imagine, that if the concerts didn't go ahead, you could kiss goodbye to the Memorial Hall to some extent.
Even the Post Office has closed.

Got the makings of a song me thinks.

I am not a regular session player, although I have been to one or two. As it is not a regular established session, could Liam suggest maybe a handful of tunes, or pairs or tunes that could be included within the session? Including the key and even suggestions as to the version, (a link to the notes and/or sound file would be fantastic!)It would mean that those who do not know many or even, any, tunes, could learn them before and join in with a few, at least. I accept that this is maybe not the norm, but, I think it would involve more people and add to the session.
It is just a suggestion...
