The regular Bell+Jorrocks old fashioned and traditional music sessions continue on Sunday the 27th December - and once again we'd love to see interested folks from this forum on the night!
The sessions are held at the Bell & Jorrocks pub at Frittenden, Kent, and start at 8pm and continue until it's time to sing Nellie Dean and say goodnight. They're informal and free, with lots of old fashioned and traditional songs and tunes, and a big emphasis on variety, humour and entertainment generally - if you liked your pub the way it was before the telly and the computer came, this is the event for you.
Once again we've decided to feature a good friend, and this time it's Nigel Hobbins from Whitstable. Nigel's a charming singer and player of string-things, and has a particularly nice collection of songs he recorded and learned from mhis grandfather. But there's no need to worry that other interests will be left out - there will be plenty of play-along country dance tunes, and sing-along choruses from regulars who often include singers, stepdancers, and fiddle, melodeon and concertina players, including ourselves.
