Shanghaiceltic, I'm in Cambridge. Be fun to meet up somewhere.

There's a session in Haslingfield at the Little Rose pub every second Wednesday, and at the Unicorn in Cherry Hinton (not the Unicorn in Trumpington) every third Wednesday. These are both very informal, basically fun singaround/playaround sessions. Expect them to have a high Xmas content in December, although on the plus side you might get mince pies if the landlords are feeling generous. Also there are sessions every Friday at the Red Lion in Whittlesford (fairly trad folk) and at the Bees In The Wall in Whittlesford (not very folky, more social). These are the ones we go to regularly.

There's also performances at the Portland Arms and CB2 on a regular basis, and there's loads of other pubs around the town that do music. Plus the Corn Exchange for more serious performances as well. Check the local papers for what's on when you get over here.

You might want to start yourself a new thread for this, in case people don't see this one...

Graham.

Also a mostly English (+ Shetland, Swedish, French etc.) music session with some singing, on Sunday nights.

1st Sunday (i.e. Dec 5) The Dyke's End, Reach (near Burwell, east of Cambridge)

2nd Sunday (i.e. Dec 12) The Hoops, Gt Eversden (west of Cambridge)

3rd Sunday (Dec 19) Dyke's End, Reach again.

4th Sundays Three Tuns, Abington, just off the Haverhill road - but Shanghaiceltic will be gone by then.

Of course I'll post any further news about the Whepstead White Horse as and when. I'm not sure whether Brian's still expecting anyone on 16th as he originally posted but my guess is (a) you'll be more than welcome if you turn up with voices and instruments (b) better phone to let him know. He's definitely expecting music on Jan 11!

Well done peeps! Maybe I might even take a stroll up from the southern Saxons on 11th!

Thanks, Anahata - I didn't know about them. Might get out there and try them sometime. :-)

Of course, Cambridge being Cambridge, the problem is not scarcity but choosing what you want to go to each night!

Anahata forgot to mention that the singing at the Sunday night sessions at Cambridge can be in English, Welsh or French, as there are fluent speakers & singers in all three languages there!

My Thanks to Steve, Mary, Anahata and ???? for visiting the White Horse,my apolgies for not remembering Four names though we look forward to January and the start of sessions here,

My thanks to "The Shambles" for comments posted regarding the Law,

I appeal to anyone else to call me if you are interested in Saturday afternoon sessions to include bringing along your kids, being a Father of three myself I would like to see this happen, it may well be more appealing in the Summer as we have nearly an acre of Garden grounds but even so call me if there is any interest

Any Individual Musicians wanting to play for their Sunday Dinner should call me as well I am keen to "surprise" the Locals with some background music thats played from the heart rather than the CD player

One last thing which someone might be able to help with - I am looking to find a "Brass Band" its nearly Christmas and I would love to hear the sound of Brass instruments playing outside and inside the Pub near to Christmas
thanks to you all

Opps - time has caught up and bitten me on the backside, and the next session is tonight!

We had a good one last month, but I wasn't aware that any of the participants were those who'd posted on this thread that they would come along to a session, so why not come out of the woodwork and join in the fun this time?

(see above for instructions)

Next one's next Tuesday - 8 March

Mary will be in hospital so neither of us will be there buyt the session is definitely happening.

Also I heard that Brian the landlord is planning on a whole folk day or weekend with music, dancing and all sorts. No idea when and the details are open to ideas from anyone interested, so put your thinking caps on. The best way to find out more is to turn up on Tuesday - in fact if anyone reading this does go please report back if your find out anything more!
