Subject: RE: Jim Mcfarland @ the Welly
Surreysinger - 'The Welly' is a pub called The Wellington, in a village called Wolviston on Teesside. It is the home club of the Wilson family so we have some wonderful singing there every week, both because there is a great deal of respect for traditional ballads and songs, and also because it's the best place in the country for chorus singing!. Jim MacFarland has been to this area many times - he is a regular at Whitby festival and so is well know to audiences round here - and it is always a real pleasure to hear him. This thursday will be an extra special night at the Welly.
But if you're ever up this way another time, be sure to drop in. The club runs as a singers night every thursday, with a guest usually once a month. There is usually a thread on Mudcat for the guest nights so if you need more info, just ask, and we'll supply directions etc.
