What a fantastic afternoon. Songs and tunes were brilliant. This must have been one of the friendliest sessions that I’ve ever been to. Thanks to Dave too a great and relaxed organiser and to the chap who loaned me his guitar. Beer was excellent to top it all. I’ll keep my promise and come back before Christmas 2018. Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon.

It was good to welcome old and new friends to our popular Sunday afternoon tunes and songs session at Fernandes Tap pub in Wakefield ( first Sunday of each month at 1 pm.) on 1st. September. Without wishing to exaggerate , I think it would be hard to find such a multi - talented gathering of singers and musicians ...well attended, good atmosphere, huge choice of real ales and other beverages plus excellent music. All are always very welcome and I would urge you to come along. We also meet at 1pm on the third Sunday of each month at the Polka Hop pub in Wakefield.
It was also good to meet up with many of our Wakefield attendees and others at the informal fringe gatherings in the Black Horse at Whitby during Folk week....always good to meet up with old and new friends . Thanks to Sue and her staff for offering such a warm welcome . .

Hi All. For those not on Davids mailing list, the Folk Sessions at Polka Hop and Fernandes Tap have been cancelled until Further notice due to the Coronavirus situation.
Good luck to all, in particular to those who, like me, that are more "at risk!".
All being well I will let you know when the Sessions recommence.

Thanks Dennis for the advice and information. I didn't go last Sunday since I'd not heard one way or the other.

Strangely, I am on David's mailing list but had not received anything!

Haven't heard of you for ages, so now glad to see you're alive and well.

I believe everyone we know on the folk scene is deemed "at risk" in one category or other, so the future does indeed look very bleak for us all. keep safe and take good care..

We will now meet on the First and Third Sunday of each month at 1.30 pm. at the Polka Hop pub in Wakefield. There is free parking close by. Our first sessions will be on the 1st and 15 th August 2021 at 1.30 pm . We look forward to welcoming singers, instrumentalists and audience at these free and informal sessions.

This is the first (planned) resumed session I have heard of. I suppose you know that a greater physical distance is advised when people are singing than when they are speaking. Some people say singers should wear visors.
