Good Morning
Yesterday at the Vaults Bar in Stony Stratford which must be one of the longest running sessions in the UK, dad came in with two little girls, one clutching a fiddle and the other a guitar, they couldn't have been much older than 6. We all made room and they sat down got their instruments down, played a couple of simple arrangements of scales and got the round of applause. That's the sort of thing we encourage at our session, I hope we are doing something right. I organise an acapella session in Stony Stratford 3 times a year, it's difficult to fight your way into the pub they are so popular, If you get out there and sing and play the audience will find you...

BTW the next Acapella is at 8pm at the Fox and Hounds on Dec 23rd, Stony High Street.
