Hi Folks, just a plug for Songs and Tunes at The Becch M21 9EG:

Other People Playing Our Tunes
We thought it might be useful to be able to hear other people playing our tunes. I know they are not 'Our Tunes' - that is one of the basic tenets of folk music. Some do have acknowledged authors but the majority do not. Some of ours have been around for three or four hundred years and hundreds of people will have contributed to their evolution.

However, we do have a Tune Book and a loose collection of friends, 120 or so over the past 5 years, 68 on our current e-mail list, who come to the Beech fairly regularly and play in The Beech Band when ever they can.

We feel it is essential that people drop in and out of tunes as the feel appropriate - we call this 'An Arrangement'. Listening to other people play is great fun and a great way of spicing up The Beech Band.

I will put a link here abouts to YouTube pages on which people are playing tunes from our Tune Book. Some are solo and some are bands, some famous and some not so - but all good stuff - tell your friends.

Cheers
