Keep forgetting to put this up....

The first birthday of the North West Leicestershire Quarter Sessions will take place on Thursday December 15th at the Turk's Head, Donisthorpe, NW Leicestershire. All four of the sessions we've had so far, including the music weekend last time, have been great, so let's hope we can keep it up!

For more info, PM me, or post here.

See you there?

Love Lynne

Sounds good! Is it instruments, or just voice?

Either or both! We try to keep it fairly informal, relaxed - and if you want to join in, that's fine...

It was originally meant to be a music session because they seem to be few and far between, but we had so many singers that it turned into a mixture. Basically it's a do-what-you-want session! I have to admit a hankering for a higher instrument profile though.....

-double base or kettle drum?

they have a large profile.........

A musician called lynn was first class
and could even tell woodwind from brass
during a session quite cosy
after a quart of old rosie
she tripped and fell right on her ..glass

OK Lynne, so you "have to admit a hankering for a higher instrument profile"!
Mmmmmm, I get it then - you don't like my singing!
So yeh, well, maybe I could leave my voice at home, bring my concertina and come as a musician ...

Sorry Ted, Lynne

Have enjoyed those I've been to but can't come down for this will try to make next one, besides Lynne wants to lower the singer to tuner ratio.

Have a good time without me.

That's a pity Robbie...we'll miss you. I don't really want to lower the ratio. Whatever happens is a good thing

Well I hope it wasn't too awful Liath!

Thank you everyone for coming...another really good session. Liath added a new dimension to it with her harp, which is truly the instrument of the angels, and the Wurzels tribute band called "Strange Pony" were also a definite plus. Everyone else was great too of course.

Strange thing...this was the fifth Donisthorpe session and apart from my family and four other regulars, there have been different people at every one! I hope that doesn't mean that when they've been once they don't want to come again! It does mean that each session is totally different from the last though...never gets boring!

Watch out for the next one some time in March.

I wanted to come, but I was too nackered and depressed by the time I got home from work, and Sue went to her orchestra's Christmas bash, so I stayed in and played bagpipes until the neighbours broke the windows.

I thought Liath on the chip making machine was wonderful, and culture finally found it's way North to the midlands in the shape of 'Strange Pony' (despite them being northern on account of being from Bris'l ..north of Bridgwater, see you))liked the Silagecaster.
well done Lynne and Ted ...okay and the jellybean monster

Sorry Sandy & I couldn't make it, Lynne.
I had just driven 220 miles from Welwyn Garden City to Stratford-upon-Avon via Ross-on-Wye and didn't feel like any more driving!
Anyway, glad you had fun. Maybe we will be able to make it next time.
Wassail!

True Barry, but you say that every time!! We'll look forward to seeing you anyway, so don't disappoint us! Last time we had a harpist and a Wurrzles tribute band so we need to see if we can do something to top that!

Paul, it will be great to see you too, cos you've also said before that you'd like to come haven't you?

Well you are on cleaning up duty then Barry. NAUGHTY boy! (Smacks hand)

Another brilliant session, and, weirdly, a whole different crowd again, with a few notable exeptions.

This time instead of the harp we had Paul with his medieval pipes. A whole contingent from "The real music club" added to the evening. The people we can now begin to call regulars were as good as usual.....thanks Tim, Rachel, Maureen and Neil. And the beginning-to-be-regulars too. I think we probably had the most people yet.

Looks as though we'd better have another one then! Some time in June...watch this space!!

Thanks to the Recorder of the Quarter Session, the sentence was very lenient indeed considering. Hanged, drawn and quartered, well, that's fair enough, but they dropped the parking charge, and with good behaviour I could be out of the coffin within 600 years.

Oh dear...as if having Mad Muddle C weren't enough, it looks as though we have mad Paul as well!!

Well if you aren't out of the coffin for the next session, you'd better bring it with you!
