Very enjoyable evening, excellent standard of singing all round. Thanks Ray. Shame I was driving, that Barnsley beer you were drinking looked like good stuff!

I dunno Rhiannon!! can but ask

I must try to drink much less!

The standard with Mick Pearce, Jock o'Dreams, North/South Annie, Jim Potter, Alama, John Platt, David Kidman, John Booker and the Barnsley crowd! made a great night

Jock/Jim presented JB with a fine framed photo taken last Easter

John is very pleased to have it, many thank Jim [Jock O'Dreams]

That is the clubroom for Mondays of course

What this space for probably developments for Easter good or bad!

Just got back from a super evening. The standard of singing was exceptional. Well done, Ray, for organising this.

Rhiannon

P.S. Do you think the landlord will replace the light bulbs in the near future? 3 out of 6 out makes a dim room!

Hi Ray

Would it be possible to bring our well behaved and folk loving Yorkie along? He loves festivals etc and is an excellent meeter and greeter and doesn't join in the singing.

Sadly for a couple of reasons we can't leave him in the evening at the moment.

Hi Ray. Hoping we can get a small Huddersfield contingent over tomorrow including Macca, Dozy Rozy, Sheila and myself ( though I have yet to tell them about it!!)
Is there any decent hand-pulled real ale served at The Shaw and when does the bar shut and session finish?
Also, is it all booked artists or is it also an open singaround?
Cheers mate.

Yep Chennells still there opposite Corner Pin and all on the infamous Wellington St which is wall to wall pubs nearly

Chennels has a very long bar!

The Bodega was a favourite bar but now part of the Chennels

Dave Bottomley has written a great song called The Bunny Run about Friday night in Barnsley, and the social "intercourse" of the young 'uns

My 'regular' (not very local) was called something like the Chennells Bar.

A roundabout in the middle of Barnsley? Gosh, things have changed. I remember the middle of Barnsley being a square (Pit Street I think). Never mind, if we can make it we have a Satnav.

The Shaw is the home of Barnsley folk club on Mondays {Sat this event]

It is Shaw Lane/St ish corner with Racecommon Road

quite quiet and on street parking, or round the pub

Should be enough seats obviously depends on arrival time and attendance, not a very big room ideal for singing/playing

Jct 37 M1 3/4 mile dead easy to find, coming into Barnsley, or just up from Townend round about, whichever way you are coming
