26 Nov 03 - 05:21 AM (#1061199) Subject: UK: Barton Sloop session to move again From: GUEST,Skipjack K8 We have had to do some surgery to save the old Sloop session from dying, as it has not successfully survived the move from the Coach and Horses. For those keen on UK pub session history, but not in possession of the facts, the Sloop Inn in Barton (sans) Upon (hyphens) Humber was the perfect location for a long-lasting and particularly successful mixed song and tune session that was eventually killed off by the outgoing PEL system, combined with landlord change. Jo, the then manager of the Coach and Horses gave us a new home, and provided masses of really good grub, and the session's future seemed assured. However, she turned a failing pub around so successfully that the brewery allegedly bumped up the rent exponentially and she could no longer afford the pub. One of her last acts as manager was to find us a new home for the session at the George, and initially numbers held up. However, the last few weeks has seen interest wane, and numbers have now dropped consistently below the level required for a viable session, as most bands have more members than we currently have sessioneers. The concensus at last night's poor old do was that we had to move in order to attract some of our old regulars back, and that we had to find a pub with a PEL, and a sympathetic landlord who is likely to remain in office for some reasonable length of time. So we chose the Six Bells in Barrow Upon Humber, which is where we have had some cracking ad hoc Saturday night sessions, and subsequently the old Wootton session for the last several months. Barrow is three miles to the east of Barton, so shouldn't put folk off coming from near or far. We also agreed that we would move the Barrow Last Sunday session to another venue, and that will hopefully be the Nelthorpe Arms in Brigg (aka Scanlons). That is still to be confirmed, and I will post updates as they happen. I then called into see Jim in the Six Bells on my way home. There is a reasonably sizeable session room there that accommodates listeners as well as musicians (which includes singers!). He was delighted at the decision, and is up for seeing us next Sunday for the last of the Sunday sessions, and then again on Tuesdays in perpetuity. He will also provide some grub for the sessioneers, so please turn out in force to secure this venue as a long-term session. See you next week! |

BUT the Six Bells is a welcoming venue and we have had some cracking sessions there. North bankers need not fear, it is only five minutes - or less - further away than the Barton venues. If this could become as good a home as the Sloop was, then it will all be fine. Wonder what the grub will be like... |

04 Dec 03 - 11:28 AM (#1065500) Subject: RE: UK: Barton Sloop session to move again From: GUEST,Skipjack K8 .....Well, assuming you mean th Six Bells, rather than the Quo, it went bally well! You would've liked it particularly, Juan, as there was a surfeit of pipers, two in fact. Ploughflyer brought one of his mates, a Thistle Dodger, who played them smallpipes you favour, and he's a braw player, too. Other'n that, it was a fairly small gathering that struggled to wipe out the truly excellent sandwiches that were laid on. It was a good atmosphere, and we were made very much at home. So it's a runner, even if the bogs aren't down to standard. |

09 Dec 03 - 07:11 PM (#1068828) Subject: RE: UK: Barton Sloop session to move again From: Skipjack K8 I don't effing believe it. The landlord has been at the Six Bells since Methusalah was a lad, and we move there as a long term bet. Tonight I was told that someone wandered in off the street and offered some ridiculously large sum to buy the pub, and BANG, he's leaving on next Monday. Quite where that leaves us is unknown. The good news is that the pub has a PEL, the bad news is worse, in that it is the same pub chain 9allegegly) that bought and subsequently threw us out of the Nag's Head at Wootton. We have tried to resuscitate the Sloop session. Is everyone agreed that we stop trying? |

It's one of the filips of the peace dividend that one can pick up heavy armaments at ridiculously reasonable prices, and rather than dabble in gun crime, I am purchasing a Panzer in which to go out drinking in Barton, and then warn anyone who starts somthing that I'm packing heat. What a simply dreadful night and morning. I was just settling into some tunery at the Six Bells, when the worried face of one of my offspring was pressed against the pub window. Wouldn't you know it; Me chimney was on fire. House full of hysterical women demanding to call the fire brigade, who changed tune when graphically told what the colateral damage to the house entailed. And incidentally, why are they called Fire Fighters? Shouldn't dustmen be called Refuse Fighters? Or the polis Fighter Fighters? I withdrew the fire, took out the flue between stove and chimney, stuffed the flue hole with a wet towel, and eventually regained the Six Bells to find my flock engaging in Pop Music! Honestly! This morning dawned with an blossoming abscess, so it was down to the tooth doctor short order, who prescribed extraction of the chap above the abscess. After deep injections, I swear that Doctor Mengele had their boot on my jaw to get more purchase. The anaesthetic was useless, the pain extreme, but there was no way that mother was coming out, so I am now anti-b'd and drugged beyond the eyeballs, with gums in tatters, no booze for the next five days, when the next assault will take place. That in turn guarantees more anti-b's over Crimbo. Deep joy. |

I'll be there next week, hope loads of us will be. In the meantime the very heartiest compliments of the season to all my folking folk friends, may 2004 bring us all plenty of tunes in D, G, A etc. with the odd Bm and Em thrown in. Invitations to the old place have already been given out, do come on Christmas morning for some smoked salmon and Bucks Fizz. Or whatever you fancy... |

Yes, we are still going strong apart from one week of nil attendance and three hundredweight of the usual excellent grub laid on by the lovely Jo. Mental note to let her know when attendance is likely to be thin, but it was just that we all thought the others were going. I am going to that Scotland tomorrow, but should be home in time for tea, so hopefully see you there for more of the excellent same. |
