I'm delighted to report that at the English tunes session last night at the John Harvey Tavern, Bear Yard, Lewes, East Sussex we had twenty musicians and rather more instruments, including a magnificent tuba owned and controlled by Mel Stevens. It was a great asset; you could see smiles lighting up everyone's face each time the tuba joined in with that sort of stately flatulence normally associated with a Morris Minor changing down.

The link maker is slow today so I'll just quote the John Harvey's website: http://www.johnharveytavern.co.uk/index.html. The session is on the first Tuesday evening of the month and anyone who fancies leading it is welcome to have a go - reply to me on this thread or PM me if you prefer.
