Eileen and I found a new club that has just started at the Mundy Bois (pronounced boys) pub between Pluckley and Egerton, on the last Tuesday of the month. Anything goes - song, music, poetry - wise etc, much along the lines of the Shammick Acoustic sessions run by Tom & Barbara Brown. Run by a really friendly bunch, most of whom belong to the local amdram group.

OOooo indeed! Something happening South of the Medway! Hurrah! Can't make 31st but please keep posting new dates on mudcat.
Good stuff :-)

I know some other folkies that may be tempted to come your way as well so I'll pass the details on.

On a pedants note, surely Bois is pronounced "Bwa" - french for woodland or similar? Spot the French student!

Being a similarly educated and refined sort of chap, that's what I thought, but apparently not. I suppose if you're a Weald of Kent farm labourer it's 'boys', so boys it is. Will certainly post future dates.

Theydon BOIS ,In Essex has the same dilemma the locals call it boys, it should really be bwa,but usage means that to be understood,you have to call it boys.

I blame the Normans myself. It wouldn't be called that if Harold had won.
I'll try and remember 31st. Dave.

Well, we English don't call it Paree, do we?

I gather that pubs named the Ypres, after the salient, are usually pronounced "Wipers" locally, too.

And what about Les Cousins, the long lamented folk cellar in London?
