Thanks to all who sang last night and made it a great session, including our longer-distance travellers from Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Sheffield - thanks Nick, John & Vic, Rob - and regular supporters Linn, Cath and Tom.
But where are all the rest of our fine local singers? Hibernating?...

Next month's session is on 27th February.

Long time no post - it's been a fallow six weeks without singing, so hopefully everyone's batteries will be recharged in time for this month's session, which is on TUESDAY 30TH JANUARY. Usual time and place.

Come all ye!

Time for a refresh - next session is this coming Tuesday, 19th December.
Come all ye with your seasonal delights - songs, carols, assorted Xmastide junketings - or else play bah humbug, it's your choice. The only stipulation is to enjoy a good time and share the good music and good craic for the last time this year. Let's make it a good one!
See you there!

Thanks for letting us know Nick, and hope Mally's hospital trip went well.

It was a really good session, though a touch more sparsely attended (especially nice to see John and Vic up from Sheffield), but we still got round the room five times with plenty of relaxed craic.

Next time will be 19th December - brought forward to avoid the Boxing Day clash. Let's see some of our old friends return - we miss you!

Really looking forward to our next session, which is less than a week away now - it's next Tuesday, 28th November.

And PS - don't forget, the December JV date (19th) will be one week earlier than usual due to Boxing Day.

Twas a really superb night - best for a while - with attendees (appropriately for Hallowe'en!) numbering 13 (spooky...).
Everyone got into the spirit of things, you might say!

Hoping this might tempt some more returnees next month?

Special thanks to those travelling a long distance - Nick Dow, John & Vic, and Lynne & David - but thanks to everyone else too for their loyal support of our session.

See you again on 28th November.

Great idea, Rozza - but it would be rather more than a bus trip - either a
train and two or three buses (minimum) or three trains and a bus and/or a long walk at each end. And even if I travelled by car I'd not make it across in less than two hours, although at least it's not bang in the middle of the city and parking would be easier even on a Saturday... But if I ever find myself in the Lincoln area then sure I'll make the effort to be there! I wish you well with your session.
You're still welcome at Hunslet, but I suspect you'd have a similar problem with the journey.
Slight thread creep here - we thought about making ours an afternoon sing, but found it impossible to get a suitable venue, even casting the net geographically wider.

While I'm posting, time to REFRESH for this coming Tuesday at Hunslet!

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!

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'!

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.

Oh dear - thread creep!
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....

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!

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?

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, 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!
