For anyone in North Yorks who has the blues from Pickering Festival being cancelled, there is some good news!

A new singaround/ session is starting at The Roebuck Inn at Bagby near Thirsk tonight and then on the 2nd Friday of each month. The fun kicks off at 8.30 and all singers/ acoustic musicians will be made very welcome.

Knowing those who are likely to attend it is likely that there will be some trad/ trad sounding stuff along with more contemporary forms.

The new landlords are very keen to have musicians and singers in the pub and if there is the interest are likely to increase the number of folk nights.

Should be a good night tonight as all of our locals who were going to Pickering are now going to the Roebuck! Come sing, play, drink and be merry.
