Thread Name: English music sessions at Swanage FF
Subject: English music sessions at Swanage FF
Hi all,

I realised the other day that the excellent English music sessions at Swanage had been moved from Frida/Saturday evening to Saturday/Sunday lunchtime. This is a bit of a disaster for us, as well I guess for a lot of other musicians who play for Morris at this very Morris heavy festival. So I wrote to the organisers. The reply I got was so positive that I aksed them if they would like me to repost it on Mudcat for them. They would, so here it is:-

Good News!

We have arranged evening English Music sessions in the marquee in the back garden of the Red Lion for this year - Fri & Sat - under cover! Do not confuse this with the singers in the small bar!
 
Next year the English sessions will be based at the Black Swan! Alyson is delighted to host a session and will make everyone welcome there, but she already has music booked for this year.
 
We have had problems this year due to a change of management/ownership at the Crow's Nest and it is now a 'gastro pub' and has moved up-market.
 
Please pass on this information to those you know. It is listed on the website now.

So I replied: That is most welcome news. Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of upsetting the singers in the small bar - Kitty might write a song about me!
