sun inn beverley,

welcome to our new hosts Ryan & Diane who took over the running of the Sun last monday.

they have a few new idea's in mind for the pub, so hears wishing them well for the future.

due to the new food menu being served 7 days aweek, SUNDAYS 3pm for last food orders, our music sessions will commence
approx 4o/c - till !!!!! thus giving them time to consume their lunch and clear away.

hoping to see all you regular faces and possible new ones

Great session last night (fri), but it was a great shame the new management could not be bothered to move the pool table for us. Also the background (piped) music was far to loud.
They are not bothered about us musos, I overheard a few bad comments last night. Its a great shame, but as one of last nights organisers pointed out, (mentioning no names) 'when they find out that the food thing does not work, they will move on. Until then, personally I feel that we could do a lot better somewhere else.
Sorry I cant be more positive than this.

All you regulars of the Friday session at the Sun why not come and support the Black Boy session in Hull.Its a great session and yet very few of the Beverley crowd ever come.Deep paranoia! am I so hated by the local folkies that you don't come or is it just Hull that puts you off.Its tonight anyway 1st monday of the month.

Completley agree Teddo,know most of the muso's who go and if you are into tunes it is one of the best around.

But as I am only a singer I much prefare a mixed session.

Subject: RE: SUN INN - BEVERLEY

So do I - prefer it mixed and mainly songs I can understand - preferably in English!

Date: 04 Apr 06 - 12:08 PM

I dunno, I went last night, played my usual clanking guitar, AND sang two or three songs, and even got a clap!. You are right, it is certainly principally a scratchers, puffers, bangers and twangers session, but I've never been spat at for singing a couple of songs- why, they even asked me to sing!
Anyway it is a very good, if quite concentrated session, there were very few breaks in the tunes. It's ideal for any instrumentalist, especially one who is looking to get faster and learn loads of tunes. And it IS a lovely pub!
Anyway, come to the Tuesday session at the Six Bells in Barrow, tonight or any Tuesday night, that is definitely a mixed session!

talking to one of our sunday singers from hull last night at the foresters folk club, he told me that he went to one of the friday night sessions at the sun inn.
when he eventually was allowed to sing a song, he was totally ignored. ( so much for a welcome ). if you dont play tunes it would seam to be, DONT GO.

Hi Rodger,

the forth sunday session last month i ran at the sun, i asked the guy behind the bar to turn off the back ground music, he did so at once. its a pity you have to make a point of asking about it

Never had a problem about singing at "Sun" friday sessions, in fact I am ALWAYS asked to sing.

Subject: RE: SUN INN - BEVERLEY
From: Cod Fiddler
Date: 05 Apr 06 - 10:00 AM

I am pretty certain that singers are absolutely welcome at the Black Boy. However, I think the general idea is that songs sung should be of the lively variety, preferably with a good chorus with which people can join in - as Bloke and his applause testifies. Perhaps Warpy can confirm?

Re Black boy session.

This was set up by Warpy and me as a "tunes session" specifically because there wasnt one in Hull on a regular basis and we knew that there were instrumentalists that were looking to go to exactly that. So that was what it said on all the flyers and adverts that were handed out and that has been almost exactly what has happened.

It is true that our "bloke" gets to sing a couple of songs most weeks, usually when the players have collapsed with exhaustion and there is a slight pause in the procedings. He does however earn that "indulgence" with his non stop guitar accompaniment to the tunes right through the night and he inevitably gets an "orchestral" sized accompaniment which wouldnt suit alot of singers but I think he accepts that as par for the course.

I am sure I speak for Warpy also when I say that we want to keep the Black Boy session as being identified as a "tunes only" session, as that was where we saw the need in the local session scene. However it is such a good venue I see no reason (if the landlord aproves) for a mixed session to be held on one of the other Mondays in the month if there was a demand. I would certainly support both and enjoy the mixed sessions that I go to that already exist elsewhere.

However, without wanting to appear dictatorial, I want to make the "tunes session" status of the First Monday session quite clear so that no one turns up expecting somthing other than that and then thinks we are being rude in not necessarily invitng them to perform. I hope that makes the situation clear to everyone. I think we have quite a rich choice of sessions in the Humberside region with something for just about everybody in the variety of formats.

I think the First Monday session has its place in helping to sustain that variety and choice and it is atracting players from both banks of the Humber and from West and South Yorkshire quite regularly so I think it is fulfilling our expectations. Now all I have to do is find a way of not having to work on Monday nights so I can get to go to our session again! ;-)

Subject: RE: SUN INN - BEVERLEY

Date: 08 Apr 06 - 06:03 PM

Thanks for that Gordon. Is the session in the front or back room? The front room used to be noted for its good acoustics.

I have talked to the new licence's of the Sun and aired my greifs about the fri night session. They are willing to 'compromise' over our needs for music.

1. The Pool table.
They want to cater for everybody, so they have offered the snug to us. They cannot move the table further back as it is a fire risk blocking the fire doors. The snug may be a bit small for us, and if we get a good turnout we can move into the main room (if appropriate)
Smokeing is allowed.

2. Piped music.
They have 'compromised' and said that the piped music will take place in the pool room only.

3. Singers ignored.
This is a complete and utter load of bollocks. Singers are more than welcome.

And finnaly, we are introducing an interval between 10 and 10:30 when a 'belly dancing' teacher is going to show us the ropes.
We are 'ALL' encoureged to take part in her teachings.
We are 'ALL EXPECTED' to put on a show for the festival.
If you beleive that then..............;-)
John :-)

The Black Boy session has been a success and I hope flamingo tent will give it another try.We promise to play at a respectable 80bpm for at least one tune.

Talks are in progress for a cover to go over the pool table so we could use the pool room. I think this has a great advantage as smoking is a big issue.
As you know the snug is a no smoking area, but we are allowed to smoke in there as an exception. As a smoker myself, I could tell this did not go down very well as I was monitering the looks of the locals at me with a fag in my mouth in the snug.
The pool room on the other hand is a smoking area, and when new laws come out next year, there are the doors out to the beer garden off that room so we could easily go and smoke out there.

Stopping smoking would would be the best thing to do (If it only was that easy)!    I do know some exellent musicians and singers alike that will not come to the sessions because of the smoke.
This is a shame, as we would like to see them.

I do know, and sympathise with people that do not wish to stop smoking, but it seems these are becoming a minority. Me included!!!

Any comments???

John.
