Session, Bell+Jorrocks, Frittenden 27th Sept, starting at 8pm

The regular Bell+Jorrocks old fashioned and traditional music sessions start again on the 27th September and we'd love to see you all there!

The sessions will continue to be informal and free, with lots of old fashioned and traditional songs and tunes, and a big emphasis on variety, humour and entertainment generally.

Following the success of the Jody Kruskal night back in August, we're going to repeat the experiment by featuring a couple of (almost local) stars once again - a duo of anglo concertina wizard Alan Day along with his ace guitar playing accomplice Mike Ainscough. So expect a good night for both concertina and guitar enthusiasts but don't worry that other interests will be left out - there will be plenty of play-along country dance tunes, and sing-along choruses from regulars who often include singers, stepdancers, and fiddle, melodeon and concertina players.

Gavin and Julie Atkin (see www.julieandhersqueeze.com for more on what we do!)

I hope some of you Mudcatters can come along. It will certainly be a mixed bag of music
A number of musicians have promised to join us so it should be a good evening,in a very nice country pub.
I hope you can get there

Just a quick update and reminder!

As well as Alan Day and Mike Ainscough on anglo concertina and guitar, from what I hear of who's coming to the first of this year's season of old fashioned and traditional music sessions, it seems this Sunday will see a tremendously mixed bag of old-fashioned entertainments.

Barring natural disasters, in addition to Alan and Mike's popular old song tunes I'm confident in saying that we can look forward to step-dancing, session tunes, and a selection of songs that might be described variously as traditional, singalong, popular, old fashioned, touching, trivial or plain bonkers.

If that's the kind of thing you think you might like, please don't forget - Bell+Jorrocks, Frittenden (south of Maidstone) 27th Sept, starting at 8pm.

PS Concertina fans might enjoy this clip fromm the last session showing Jody Kruskal singing Princess Papouli and this of Bell & Jorrocks session regular Julie Atkin singing On a Slow Boat to China accompanied on duet concertina.
