Thread Name: big barton xmas session
Subject: RE: big barton xmas session
Well, there's the room we play in.... then there's the room in which we play and the "playing in" room.
It will, I'm sure, be crowded - only right and proper for the BIG BATRON XMAS SESSION - held in Barrow, but who wants Christmas spirit with two guitar and a Bodhran?
Anyway, we are assembling some of the finest traditional musicians in the area, and some of the youngest, so the music will be of the highest order; Karen & Colin will be doing some songs along with me & maybe a few others, plus plenty of jigs, reels and other fantastic music. You could look on it as a sort of coming together à la Band Aid - but without the other connotations. Just a great way to kick off Christmas! And I'm SOOOO looking forward to meeting loads of friends/musicians old & new. Don't forget, we're 98% genetically the same as monkeys. What makes us different? Why, the music of course. No other animal makes music for pleasure. When we play & sing, we affirm our humanity in a very positive way! Here endeth.....
