18 Jul 05 - 11:20 AM (#1523274) Subject: Beverley Sessions From: Sir Roger de Beverley From this coming Sunday (24th July) there will be a change to our programme of sessions in Beverley. The monthly plan now looks like this: First Sunday - Monk's Walk from 2pm Second & Third Sundays - Sun Inn from 3pm Fourth Sunday - Hodgson's from 3pm Fifth Sunday (when applicable) - Sun Inn from 3pm In addition - Tuesday and Friday evenings in the Sun Inn R |
18 Jul 05 - 11:55 AM (#1523309) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST Sir Roger Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call these events 'music gatherings', or 'singaround' or 'musicians and singers meetings? A session is a gathering of musicians who play Irish, English or Scottish or whatever, music of whatever genre. Although each of the events listed above are good events they are not sessions Edward |
18 Jul 05 - 12:04 PM (#1523321) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST Define sessions? |
18 Jul 05 - 12:59 PM (#1523363) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ET Not a Session in the sense that all join in but could be if the tune was known or in a common key. Good fun though and hope all turn up, especially at new venue this coming Sunday. |
18 Jul 05 - 01:47 PM (#1523408) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Sir Roger de Beverley I'm happy to call them whatever you want - I only used the word session because that seems to be the common currency around here. R |
18 Jul 05 - 02:58 PM (#1523489) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ossonflags To do a bit of heavy drinking is also known as a "session", well it is in 'ull. Doesnt matter what it is called the important thing is for people to get there and enjoy themselves. |
18 Jul 05 - 05:42 PM (#1523614) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST Osson. You are dead right son. Actually its a North Eastern term for a drink or three exported to the south of England - Hull! I do think the term music session should be used properly though. What you do in the Sun and elsewhere is grand - but its not a session. Alistair Anderson |
18 Jul 05 - 07:13 PM (#1523706) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: brid widder session (ACTIVITY) noun [C] a period of time or meeting arranged for a particular activity: presumably that would include 'a gathering of musicians who play Irish, English or Scottish or whatever, music of whatever genre.'... I can't see why that is the only acceptable meaning of the word |
19 Jul 05 - 09:25 AM (#1523878) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Les from Hull The other often-used expression 'singaround' doesn't describe these events accurately either. We follow the singaround format, giving everybody a turn, but that turn can be a song or a tune or two (or a poem/monologue or anything else). Musicians will often join in with accompanied songs and tunes. So if it isn't a session and it isn't a singaround, then what is it? Do we need a new name? The only reason to give something a name is to describe it accurately to someone who doesn't know. The people who sing and play in Beverley on a Sunday know what they are getting and look forward eagerly to the next one! Mind you, me an' 'er will be in Warwick next Sunday. |
19 Jul 05 - 09:40 AM (#1523892) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST You cant beat a good session between the sheets |
20 Jul 05 - 11:55 AM (#1524342) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Sir Roger de Beverley Would that be sheet music then? R |
20 Jul 05 - 04:29 PM (#1524501) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: fiddler I'm going 2 be rude B*LL*X If it is common currency in the area then call it that. I've been to sessions wher ethey were run liek a folk club and folk did not join in with the song or the music only in the choruses but common usage called them a session. Tehe message was clear - this is what is going on - coe and see if you liek it have a beer and join in. Please find the plot again - I wish I was in Beverley (there msut be asong in there (for a session) or a tune) |
21 Jul 05 - 01:45 AM (#1524847) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ossonflags I will be there for the singaround, playaround,strumaround, pluckaround, squeezearound,speakaround,blowaround,rigandjeelaround,drinkaround ,fallaround or whatever we do at "Hodgesons" this Sunday. What time start Rog? |

22 Jul 05 - 12:47 PM (#1525419) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Sir Roger de Beverley Apparently mine hosts are putting on a barrel of real ale for those of us who require it. The pub doesn't normally have handpulled ale on but the experiment over the FF weekend was a success and they are happy to repeat it on a smaller scale for this Sunday. R |
22 Jul 05 - 01:36 PM (#1525453) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST,Paul Barris. Where is the session ??? this weekend at just Hodgesons, where the folk festival was held recently, or at both there and The Sun Inn which is more of a conducive atmosphere to the sort of gathering which seems to take place most Sunday afternoons.Also when you get to my age it isn't as far to walk to, and back of course.If anyone knows a shortcut from Lincoln Way area to Hodgesons please let me know? |
22 Jul 05 - 03:54 PM (#1525582) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Sir Roger de Beverley It is at Hodgson's. As stated ealier, the Sun is the 2nd, 3rd (and 5th) Sundays of the month. Monk's Walk is the 1st Sunday and Hodgson's is the 4th Sunday - in this case Sunday 24th July. R |

23 Sep 05 - 05:09 PM (#1569497) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ET Lets hope the new man/woman fixes the bogs. There is a constant 2" of water in the gents (not sure where it comes from!) and I am told no paper in the ladies as there is no demand for it. On Tuesday last the dishwasher upstairs was running and the ceiling vibrated like it was about to collapsE. Otherwise great pub. I think PUB CO makes a living by turning over landlords and collecting large sums from the new ones for the "goodwill" |
24 Sep 05 - 06:26 AM (#1569721) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ossonflags Axeman as the new pumpman? that would be a joyfull thing to behold. I will be there at the "Hodgesons" on Sunday Rog. |
24 Sep 05 - 12:38 PM (#1569850) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Sir Roger de Beverley Agree with ET - potentially great pub but suffering under the dead hand of Enterprise Inns (The pubco responsible) When I win the lottery I'm going to make them an offer they can't refuse and then run it a true free house. R |
06 Oct 05 - 05:04 PM (#1577446) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Graham and Jo The Sun has character and if it's open tomorrow we'll be there. But we had a phonecall to say it's closing tonight so an arrangement has been made with Oddfellows to have the session there tomorrow. It's only 20 yards up the road. |
06 Oct 05 - 05:15 PM (#1577452) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Graham and Jo OOps change 20 yards to 200 yards. Graham's been drinking with the landlord tonight and it's definitely there tomorrow. Sean might come for a drink too to be the other side of the bar for a change. |
07 Oct 05 - 11:22 AM (#1578003) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST Oddfellows tonight then |
23 Oct 05 - 07:16 AM (#1588907) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ossonflags A late reminder.The sess is at Hodgesons today 3.30am startish |
24 Oct 05 - 04:23 AM (#1589470) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Paco Rabanne Finally made to Hodgsons yesterday, it was nice. I think The Sun should be turned into flats for elderly persons Amoxicillin, the true antibiotic! |
24 Oct 05 - 05:21 AM (#1589505) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: Hand-Pulled Boy Good to see you again Ted and Penny. Hope to talk to you next time! |

02 Nov 05 - 05:12 AM (#1595606) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: GUEST,Geoff Hi,Sir Roger,as author of this thread can you say whether the Monks Walk session is on this Sun(6th.)?

02 Nov 05 - 06:07 AM (#1595614) Subject: RE: Beverley Sessions From: ossonflags Speaking as the one who host's the event I can verify that the "Monks walk" pub session will be this week on the 6th of November 2005. Everyone is welcome whatever your style or if you just want to listen. Slipping in anonomously is not obligatery but we do not discourage it, so yes "Guest" Geoff you are more than welcome. |
