Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: GUEST,John from Kemsing Date: 23 Feb 11 - 05:28 AM Dear Don, I have been keeping track of your situation and am relieved to learn you are back in the ball game and feeling much better to boot.

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 22 Feb 11 - 07:36 PM I have been subjected to one Myocardial Infarction, (stopped in its tracks by my own swift response which meant that I went into A & E with angina pains, and had the heart attack in the best possible place), one Angiogram, and two Angioplasties. The result is that I now feel better than I have in the last five years, and am back to full singing strength. I couldn't come last night (the DVLA forbid driving for a week after an Angio), but I'll be back (like Arnie) next month. See you all then. Don T |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: GUEST,pete from seven stars link Date: 21 Feb 11 - 10:39 AM i am assuming it,s on tonight.keith and i and maybe ian[keyboards]are planning to come. i was expecting john from kemsing to" post here accordingly",so i hope he is well. these sessions are relatively small but well appreciated by musos and listeners. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: GUEST,pete Date: 18 Jan 11 - 09:33 AM nice that these sessions have a good appreciative audience that often outnumber performers.not everywhere i play everyone listens.all contributions appreciated and variety though not many musos last night. how about the romantic smell of burning -i feel a who song coming on; "......but the air is perfumed by the burning firewood...." |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: GUEST,John from Kemsing Date: 18 Jan 11 - 06:04 AM The first 2011 session took place last night. Nine folks were there which is not bad for an event that had not been publicised nor for which a reminder had been issued. A very pleasant evening ensued. Michelle, the landlady, advised us that a mains water leak had brought down the ceiling of the ladies "loos" and compromised the electrics so those in need were obliged visit the gents under candlelight. Where else could you a get more romantic sense of relief?? She is also enthusiastic for the evenings to continue and local notices are planned. Jenny has arranged the next one will be on Feb,21st and a notice will be posted here accordingly. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: GUEST,pete Date: 17 Aug 10 - 03:14 PM very much enjoyed joining your small,friendly singaround last night and seeing don and john again-hope knee op goes well don.i shall probably be back. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing 21st June From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 13 Aug 10 - 09:52 AM Still on folks. Somehow we've acquired two threads, and I've been updating the other one which should now be not far below this one, as I updated about thirty minutes ago. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 13 Aug 10 - 09:11 AM Next session:- MONDAY NEXT, 16TH AUGUST. Jenny is on holiday, and has asked me to run it. My voice may or may not have recovered from Sidmouth, and the heavy cold I brought back, so if you aren't folked out, why not join us? Great little pub, wonderful atmosphere, lovely landlady, and two (count 'em) real ales at about £2.40 a pint. What more could you want? Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing 21st June From: Rafflesbear Date: 12 Aug 10 - 02:09 PM I went past there a few weeks back on a wednesday evening. No cars in the car park and what appeared to be the landlady in her nightdress in the garden! Pub almost invisible from the road behind an untrimmed hedge - is it still open? |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing 21st June From: GUEST,pete Date: 12 Aug 10 - 06:31 AM hello don.i see last entry was june-is it on this coming monday?maybe along if so-be nice to renew aquantance |

|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 15 Jul 10 - 02:46 PM NEXT MONDAY, 19th JULY 8.00 till late. This is a really nice session, and well worth the trip out. Lovely pub, cosy and informal atmosphere, choice of real ales at very reasonable price. I can always accommodate a couple of passengers, if there is anybody wanting a lift. Seven thirty at my house. PM me for details. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Girl Friday Date: 07 Apr 10 - 02:28 PM I understand that there are quite a few morris sides who practice on Mondays. Generally a side will sing at the same pub afterwards. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Rob Naylor Date: 06 Apr 10 - 09:16 PM Difficult for me: Mondays I do British Military Fitness (BMF) and go to a local session afterwards, when they're on. Tuesdays I do BMF in winter and rock climbing outside in summer. Wednesdays, more BMF, with climbing club slideshow afterwards once a month, and the odd evening with friends. Thursdays I do running club 3 times a month and the High Brooms Tavern Singaround on the 4th. Fridays and Saturdays are not "scheduled" as such but I'm generally at a gig somewhere in the evenings. Sundays I climb if it's nice, and rest in the evening. So for me, I don't think any timing changes made would make it feasible to get there. I can get to Tonbridge straight after a BMF session, if I arrive smelly and unshowered but much further wouldn't be feasible. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Kev The Clogs Date: 06 Apr 10 - 05:58 PM If the night needs to be changed - I don't think that wiuld be a problem - but WHEN would suit everyone? |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Girl Friday Date: 06 Apr 10 - 01:35 PM I think that the problem lies in the fact that pubs may have encouraged us to run on Monday nights as it is traditionally a quiet night for the licenced trade. Therefore there are lots of us trying to run something. Maybe too many? /Richard - I'll p.m. you. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Rob Naylor Date: 06 Apr 10 - 12:39 PM Trouble is, there are Monday sessions on in both Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, so it would be spreading things a bit thin to try and get up to Kemsing as well! |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Richard Bridge Date: 06 Apr 10 - 11:54 AM Good job I didn't then, Sue as yesterday was a bonk holiday... |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Girl Friday Date: 06 Apr 10 - 11:53 AM I really do hope that such a good session continues to be so. Folk at The Foresters started like that, and continued well for about a month. Can some of you find us on the first, second, and fourth Mondays please? Oh, and if there should be five Mondays in the month. That is, with the exception of Bank Holidays. i |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 06 Apr 10 - 10:03 AM I am now able to commit. As last month, I shall be there, transported by a Dead Horse. It's a great little pub, and worth the trip, especially with a choice of real ales at £2.40 a pint. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 04 Apr 10 - 06:04 PM All being well, a repeat of last time. See you there. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Kev The Clogs Date: 30 Mar 10 - 11:14 AM Just a reminder Folks, the Next session at The Rising Sun will be the third Monday in April, which is the 19th. Hope you can make it. Regards Kev the Clogs |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 16 Mar 10 - 09:17 AM glad it went well and well done to kev and Jen I looked the place up on the train map the other day I could get there but only back has far has Chislehurst. before all transport stops for the night. well done and glad it went well. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: melodeonboy Date: 16 Mar 10 - 04:00 AM I'm really pleased it went well and that there's going to be another one. I shall try to get along (possibly with the other Currants!) to the next one. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 15 Mar 10 - 08:38 PM We understand why those who didn't come couldn't come and of course prior commitments must be honoured, but I know that all of you will be overjoyed to hear that it was a stonking session, with a huge amount of traditional song leavened by a goodly sprinkling of contemporary, and humorous material. Many thanks to all, and to the landlady especially, who presides over a local which is exactly what a local should, and used to be. Next session will be third Monday in April, which is the 19th. It's well worth the trip, there are two of the finest Real Ales, and the music will knock your socks off. Special thanks to Kev the Clogs and to Jen. They made it happen. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Girl Friday Date: 15 Mar 10 - 09:23 AM Hope this goes well tonight. We can't be with you, as somebody needs to be at The Foresters. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Kev The Clogs Date: 15 Mar 10 - 08:34 AM Final shot at this one!!!!! Anyone who has just seen this - give it a go please. Thanks to all who expressed interest but have mad a valid excuse. Big thanks to those who are making the journey. (Sounds like a school circular doesn't it!!!) Cheers Kev |

|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 12 Mar 10 - 12:51 PM Having been offered transport, I shall be there. Looking forward to seeing you on the night Kev, and anybody else who makes it. Don T. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: The Barden of England Date: 10 Mar 10 - 01:46 PM Never noticed this before, but - - - Mondays are often taken up with many Folkie things here in Mid and East Kent. Difficult for me at the moment as money is tight (no work, no money) John Barden |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: GUEST,John from Kemsing Date: 10 Mar 10 - 12:33 PM I`ll go if you go. See you there. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 10 Mar 10 - 09:50 AM Hi Kev I do night work and I am on shift Im working and I have used up all my annual leave on 2 Knockholts Sweeps. Pigs ear. Sidmouth Wassail (GI) and a long week end with Paris Hilton. among other one day events like lower stoke etc Regards and good luck Pierre. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 10 Mar 10 - 08:08 AM Kev, I'd love to come, and it wouldn't be the first time that the two of us have held a gig together, but I'd need transport. Norman is away in Oz from Saturday, so I'm stuck at home evenings until after April 10th. It's a bummer, because the only gig I can get to under me own power during those three weeks is Lower Stoke. It's not getting to these gigs that is the problem, it's getting home again, though Kemsing is difficult both ways. If anyone is able, without going too far out of their way, to swing by Snodland, I would definitely come along. I love the idea of establishing new venues, though the landlady might be better served by choosing another evening. There's a lot of competition on Mondays. Wilmington, Maidstone, Sheppey, and Tunbridge Wells. Meantime I will see if I can twist somebody's arm for a lift, though I don't hold out much hope. |

Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Kev The Clogs Date: 10 Mar 10 - 07:23 AM Do I take it from the lack of posts that nobody is interested in this one? It was never planned as a large singaround (hoped it could grow in time) - but it would appear that it will be a damp squib if we don't get any of the regular folkies in the area. The pub is nice. The landlady is friendly. The beer is good. Jenny, who took the time and trouble to set it up, is now worried that nobody will be there. Come on peeps - what else wouold you be doing on a Monday night!!!?? Kev |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Rusty Dobro Date: 04 Mar 10 - 11:52 AM I was exiled from Kemsing 40 years ago. I'll have to try to get along - it is (or was) a nice pub. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: melodeonboy Date: 04 Mar 10 - 09:02 AM There's a possibility that I'll turn up, Kev; I'd really like to support it. However, I'm gigging on 12th, 13th, 16th and 17th, so I might need to conserve battery power! (I used to think I was like the Duracell bunny, but I sometimes feel like the others that run out of steam and fall by the wayside!) |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Kev The Clogs Date: 04 Mar 10 - 07:25 AM No takers for this one then? come on - give it a try! |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Girl Friday Date: 25 Feb 10 - 11:07 AM Will try and get along despite having our own session that night. |
|
Subject: RE: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Richard Bridge Date: 24 Feb 10 - 06:27 PM I am lecturing that evening. |

Subject: Rising Sun - Kemsing, Session From: Kev The Clogs Date: 24 Feb 10 - 06:25 PM Hi there I work with a lady called Jenny. She was saying that it was a shame that there were so little opportunities to sing and play in the local area. I suggested that she go and find a pub and organise a session - well that's just what she has done!! The Rising Sun at Cotmans Ash - nearest big place is Kemsing, followed by Sevenoaks. Monday 15th March. 8pm start. All singers and musicians are welcome. This is initially a "one off" but depending on the interest, it could be a regular event. Any more details, I'll keep you informed. Regards Kev |
