19 Sep 02 - 08:56 AM (#787412) Subject: RE: New Session in Chester (UK) From: GUEST,Oakley If you think it would help, why not use the Sloop at Barton on Humber as the very model for you session. It has proved very enduring with a slight tendency to intoxication9. A typical mix of attendees would normally include several naked bassoonists daubed in blue woad, refugees from East Yorkshire sessions (which are dropping like ninepins at the moment) and at least a jOHn in Hull or two9. There is planty to amuse, including arythmic hupping, furniture smashing and a-cudgel beating on the walls. Once in a while we get to skin a melodeon player and make another bodrahahanahanahn. Perhaps we could organise a Sloop away-match9? |

19 Sep 02 - 10:24 AM (#787458) Subject: RE: New Session in Chester (UK) From: GUEST,Oakley The sessions unfortunately, for the sprout are Nellies in Beverley and the Hase, whose respective managements would prefer not to host infrequent bouts of music-making and bear9 drinking. Shame, really. Best wishes to the Union Vaults from near Hull. |

14 Oct 02 - 04:17 AM (#802648) Subject: RE: New Session in Chester (UK) From: Mr Happy bullfrog, yes i've had fleeting glimpses of your pal mark. he's involved with a new group 'the restless bentleys' comprising him on low whistle & percussion- he's one of that rare breed of bodhranii who, when he's playing, you can scarcely hear it except when necessary, adding to pieces rather than taking away or taking over. his cronies in the band are lee on whistles,mandolin,tenor banjo; rachel on concertina & flute. i'm not sure if he's aware of my new session in the vaults as an official regular do but some months ago when we were just starting out with it as an impromptu apres clog dancing session, the 'bentleys' came in the vaults for a pint after their band practice. i've advertised the event now so he may get wind of it, but you may also em him in case he's missed it. cheers, mr h |

I'll ask around and see if anyone has a more up to date one. You're right about his playing -- he has a rare subtlety. He also plays with Dansaul who are well worth catching. All the best BJ |
