Here is your three week warning for the BIG Christmas session, to be held in the Six Bells, Barrow, on Tuesday 21st December, starting around 8.30 or earlier.
This will be the third in our half-termly celebration of traditional music on the Humber at a mixed session. Half-termly because we want to encourage schoolchildren to come and play, so they are held during school holidays. Last time we were delighted to see a budding flautist - SIX YEARS OLD! - give a sparkling performance, and other young musicians join her and play wonderfully well.
The session is mixed, music and singing, and it is completely anarchistic; there is no boss, etiquette is always meticulously observed, and I hope I can say that everyone enjoys the time with us. Jo, the landlady, supports us and will provide suitable provender. And the beer is good, too. Who's up for it?

As the Pantomime saying goes Laurie"I'll never come too"

But there's a strong chance I just may be there prior to heading off to the Antipodes

Well, these have been so terrific i'll do my best to be there (Solstice celebrations permitting!)

MEANWHILE....

It's my birthday on Sunday (12/12) and as luck would have it there is to be another session in Lincoln at the Strugglers Inn this Sunday from 3pm.
It would be great if any of my respected colleagues from Barrow etc could join me to hoist a few!
The pub is an old fashioned real ale place, and the session will be through the pub and into the marquee at the back. It's located just under the Castle walls, round the corner from the Lawns. It's Sunday, so yellow line parking is no problem, and there are car parks nearby too.
PLEASE come over you lot - it would be great to see you in Lincoln for a change!
free pint to the first to wish me happy birthday in Irish!!

We don't encourage Deanmeister to attend, as he's too good on that guitar, sings beautifully (and in key) and all the girls love him instead of us. Understandable, really.

Indeed, a corker looks certain. I'm just off to this Tuesday's session - doubtless more modest than next week's monster - and am pleased to announce the seven day countdown to the BIG BARTON XMAS session! We'll surely greet Christmas with many a tune and song!

I am on a mission tomorrow to try to persuade Kendall and Jacqui to come to Barrow on Tuesday.......can anyone help with accomodation near by if they can make it?
