Mal - it's a singing session, tho one year some of the folks who attend the church service didn't realise it & had to be reminded by Roger that being asked to lead a hymn wasn't an invitation to preach.

The hymn session goes down well with singers cos many traditional (& modern) songs used hymn tunes. Danny Spooner arrived for his workshop one year & added to Amazing Grace.

I was at a funeral early last year where it was so strange to hear a classical soprano singing "Abide with me" - I was trying not to sing John Dengate's I can't abide

I'm usually found at Dennis O'Keefe's Australian singing session each lunchtime in the Session bar & at the Singing Sessions late at night.

I don't know where else I'll be as I haven't looked at the program, it's just too small fro me to read & I don't want to print it out.
