I am currently on a contract in the area and would like to hear of any sessions nearby

Song and tunes session 2nd Wednesday of the month, The Fox at Pirton, just W. of Hitchin. Not terribly local to Tring but probably no further than we have to travel to get there from near Newmarket.

Mick Brooks (fiddler and caller) is into sessions and lives in Aylesbury. He might be able to help if you can find out how to contact him.

The Tudor Folk club is in Chesham which is easy to get to from Tring (I assume you have wheels!). Every Monday. Mudcat's own Hamish is involved in the running of it.

Mick Brooks' partner (Barbara) owns a picture framing business in Tring. North side of the main road at the Aylesbury end of the town centre. She should be able to put you in touch with Mick and probably sell you tickets for whatever concert she is promoting next.

I am not actually in Tring in the day, but in Watford, so that may be difficult. But thanks.

I went to Herga in 1971! Saw Huw Rippon, Dransfields & Packy Byrne (is that right) there.

yes, now you get Johnny Collins, Graeme Knights, George Papavgeris, new singer -songwriter whose songs are performed by Vin garbutt,Roy bailey ,Andy irvine Me, and Kitty vernon and we have a laugh and a joke,and great harmonies on choruses, probably the best in the country when all are present, so its not as heavy a scene as once perceived and everyone is welcomed and invited to sing on singers nights like this Monday.
Then there's Mike Sparks,
George Clarke,
New voice Connelly
Are you away at the w/end then?

Singaround at Tudor Folk Club (Chesham) tonight. Link as per Anahata's earlier reply (thanks!) Easy reach from Watford. But then again, so's Herga. Take yer pick. Both good clubs. Try 'em both!!! (But prolly not on the same night). Mind you, Chesham's much easier from Tring.

Hi,
Monday is not really a good evening for me, as I get up very early to travel from West Wales to Watford for work, so am a bit cream-crackered by evening. I then go back to Tring where I am staying during the week. But I will try to get to Chesham while I am down here

Hamish, if you had told me that before Sunday, I could have come prepared, but don't have instruments with me now. (You have had a lucky escape)

hey Hamish, why dont you pop down too, you know you want to really.
Mind what you say, remember your big gigs coming up in St Albans soon.
thanks for passing on hte message to clive , jeremy rearranged for 16th Jan and reservations have reached 30. max 40 at the new venue and guess who we have this Friday, I'll warn them about your crowd, btw,do you think your crowd can handle so much fun on a Monday evening?
So come on down pavane, you know it makes sense and we'll siarad yn cymraig

Well, I usually start by playing Ty Coch Caerdydd and Machynlleth (did I spell that right?), but (as a Londoner born & bred), dim Cymraig.
PS I think Herga was where I first encountered Oranjeboom lager, in 1971. My Dutch girlfriend of the time spotted it there. Also saw the Herga Morris then.
