Thread Name: I walked out of session
Subject: RE: I walked out of session
We are very lucky with our session at the Boat Inn, Jackfield.

The musicians have played Irish Music there for over 20 years. There has been a succession of landlords who have made the session welcome.

We take over on a Thursday night; move the furniture around, repel all boarders to make sure that musicians are seated. We have a tot of Irish Whiskey about half way thru the session - courtesy of the pub.

The smokers have been pursuaded to smoke outside (as in Ireland), which makes it so much nicer for those playing flutes, whistles and singing.

In return for the hospitality we list the session on all folk sites.

So cheers to the landlord and staff.

And merry Christmas from a very soggy Boat Inn... see my thread on Submerged Session!
