Subject: RE: White Horse, Hertford - Sunday 20th Feb
Though it started out pretty slow, the session yesterday turned into quite a nice "family" affair, with 10 adults and 4 children - all doing things.

The White Horse often tends to start off with instrumental music and then develop in other directions and this month was no exception. Lots of communal singing, though with the usual guitar and banjo accompaniment.

At the moment, the nature of the session is still very much dependent on who turns up, though it's recovering quite nicely from having been in the doldrums for a while.

It's been going about 20 years now, though, in the same venue so I have a lot of very fond memories. I'm also grateful to Jacqui for having helped out a great deal before she shot off to the USA. There were times when we were very low and sh was one of the faihful few.

Hope to see even more people at the next one, on 20th March. I think (and very much hope) that it's developing into a family-friendly session with children not only welcome but contributing fully.

Bless you all(!)
Ian
