We play tunes and sing. (Quite a few trad. unacompanied songs.) If you're interested in directions or more info, please e-mail me. Of course, there's probably tons of stuff around Boston. |

Send me a personal message for time and directions. V |

Silly me. So just where in the Mass do you sing? *bg* Shad |

20 Apr 00 - 02:36 PM (#215119) Subject: RE: Where to sing in Mass and R I next week From: Tiger Hi, John & Debbie...... I'd recommend Atwater-Donnelly at the Beacon Hill Coffeehouse on 4/22. Traditional, appalachian, some a cappella. Husband & wife with guitars, mountain dulcimer, flute, banjo & a few other odds 'n ends, incl. "limberjacks" (see other thread). Authentic and very good - have seen them several times 'cause they're local. Keep in touch when you get to Boston. Something's bound to develop. ......Tiger |

20 Apr 00 - 07:29 PM (#215278) Subject: RE: Where to sing in Mass and R I next week From: Pinetop Slim Sunday night there's a session, usually including some sean nos singing, at the Blackthorne Pub in Easton, Mass., starting about 5:30 p.m. It's about an hour's drive, maybe a bit longer, from Newport on Route 138. Tinker's Nest in Bristol or Warren, R.I., was having sessions on Monday nights. Probably best to call first, though it's worth stopping in for their seafood stuffies. It's about a half-hour's drive out of Newport on Route 114. Newport's home to Paul Geremia, a wonderful country blues player, and the Newport Blues Club comes highly recommended. There's usually some good jazz playing in at least one of the other clubs. There are a couple of good folk venues in Portsmouth and Tiverton, R.I. Tiger's giving you good advice on Atwater & Donnelly.

20 Apr 00 - 07:56 PM (#215296) Subject: RE: Where to sing in Mass and R I next week From: DebC I will be at the South Shore Folk Music Club as a featured performer tomorrow night. It's an open mic, unfortunately that is not like the wonderful singing sessions that happen in UK pubs. Send me a private message if you are interested. I also have LOTS of free time on Saturday, but no car. I'd love to show you around Boston... Debra |

21 Apr 00 - 06:41 PM (#215790) Subject: RE: Where to sing in Mass and R I next week From: mjm Hey, if you haven't left yet. Try to make it to Northampton, MA. Right off the Mass Pike, exit 18ish. Check out The Iron Horse, also, Fire and Water Cafe. Smith College is near graduation so it's shouldn't be completely and utterly and impossibly conjested. If you can, walk into town, take a bus, cab, don't drive if you wanna get someplace on time. Happy trails, have fun. m |

If you can't make it this weekend, it will be the 3rd Sunday of the month for the next 4 months, from 6pm - 10pm (summer hours). Email me for directions etc. judypredmore@webtv.net Sponsored by the folk song society of greater Boston, but much more a swap than a singalong... |
