Agreed, Dennis - and so glad you could make it.
Many thanks to all those excellent singers who attended.

Let's spread the word and get some more singers in next month, especially as two of our key attendees have informed me that they'll be on holiday that week...!

Don't forget the next session is this coming Tuesday (26th March).
Unfortunately three regulars will be on holiday, another has a paid gig and another a work commitment, so numbers are likely to be down. So it would be good to see some folks who've not been for a while - please do make the effort!
Listeners are welcome too, remember!

I think you will find that the date for the next session is Tuesday 28 th. March rather than 26th March as indicated here.

I feel there was no need for such rudeness and aggression from GUEST above....perhaps it is YOUR post which is pointless .

The opportunity for singers to get together and sing/harmonies/practice songs old and new is getting less for many reason

Kelham Island Tavern 4 Sunday attracts many younger singer and is a joy!

Lincoln has a regular Jut Voices too (been once!)

Traditional and chorus singing does have good support and David's singer's session should be supported ~ I get where I can for practice btw and support where I can for my enjoyment and in support of all who wish and need to sing

Thanks for the supporting words David, Ray and Nic.
We will soldier on in spite of trolling Guests who seem to think that anything other than their own world is pointless.
Re the date correction - cheers David Nutt, you are indeed correct, tomorrow's the 28th.
So come all ye - let's have a good session.

This Saturday,25th March, "Just Voices" is back at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. After our world tour of Welton, we will be back in our familiar location in the Learning Space next to the cafe, from 1pm to 3pm. Any song, any genre as long as it's unaccompanied - solo or group, all welcome. Hope to see you there.

This is pasted from their fb page ~ looks like 4th Saturday in the month, I went to the Museum of Lincolnshire Life on my visit ~ it was well    attended and broad age group

That's useful information regarding the Lincoln version of Just Voices, Ray, thanks. The name has to be a mere coincidence, as it seems quite a different animal... but no doubt worth supporting if ever in Lincoln.
Taking the thread back to Hunslet tho', only one day to go - refresh!

Twas a quiet one, with several holiday absences, but our select gathering managed to share lots of songs and some fine conversation nevertheless.
Thanks to all for their fine contributions and good company.
Next month's is on 25th April if calendar serves me right!

C'mon, brave the snow, hail and biting winds and enjoy a warm, cosy evening of good singing at the Garden Gate.
That's tonight...

Well, there was no need to brave the weather - just one brief hailstorm.
But what else could've kept folks away??
Once again it was a small but loyal turnout (but serious thanks to all, especially Nick who'd travelled across from deepest Lancashire to be with us).
We shared half a dozen songs apiece, ranging from originals to good old Trad and Anon and Scottish Gaelic, Keith Marsden, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Peggy Seeger, the Byrds, Tom Waits, Jake Thackray, Eric Bogle, James Taylor, Stuart Marson, Dave Moss, Franz Schubert ... and even Johnny Preston!
And there was still plenty of time for all the craic, info, chat and banter in between...

Next session will be on 30th May - let's hope some absentees will be able to return then!

Cheers!

Less than a week to go for the May session of Just Voices (it's on Tuesday 30th). Usual time and place, so we hope to see some folks back from holiday.

By the way, There will be an extra Just Voices session next month (June), taking place on the Friday evening of Cleckheaton Folk Festival (30th June) at 8 pm at The Station Tavern, Railway Rd, Cleckheaton. Free entry too.
Do come and support Clecky - it's one of the very best of the smaller festivals.

Well, despite everything it was a good night, but the turnout was pitifully small. Thanks to those reliable souls who supported us - we got round the room seven times!
Next month there will be two sessions - the usual last-Tuesday (27th) and the special at Cleckheaton FF (on Friday 30th). Hope to see you at either or both?

Don't forget - it's a double helping of Just Voices this month - first the usual session at the Garden Gate in Hunslet on TUESDAY 27th, then the special session held as part of Cleckheaton Folk Festival on FRIDAY 30th at the Station Tavern in Cleckheaton.
Different folks will be able to attend either or both - but all welcome (and listeners too).
Come all ye!

Sadly not. There were unresolved problems with the venue in 2014, and illness has prevented any subsequent pursuance of those issues or revival of the event.
As for the future - well we can't completely rule it out, but....

Thanks Nick, shall we have a whipround to get you a new motor?

Now it's August, and less than a week to this month's session.
It will take place as usual, ie Tuesday 29th at The Garden Gate, as advertised on the Durbervilles' radio show last weekend.
I'm hoping to be there as usual too, subject to sufficient progress on the recovery from surgery.

The recovery is rather touch-and-go however. not sure what's going to happen, but the session should still go ahead.

A really nice relaxed friendly session last night, contributed by a small but select grouping - and interestingly, the majority of the singers were ladies on this occasion. A great range of songs, ranging from Scottish Gaelic to English trad, 40s standards and 60s r'n'r to Americana, with plenty of choice contemporary folk classics. Looking forward to the return of some of our absentees next month (31st). Keep singin'!

We have a "Just Voices" session too, at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, on Burton Road in Lincoln LN1 3LY. It's a monthly unaccompanied singaround on the fourth Saturday afternoon, from 1pm to 3pm. Perhaps you could have a bus trip sometime? Next one tomorrow!
