From a purely selfish point of view, weekly would be tricky to maintain.

Fortnightly, either 1+3 or, preferably, 2+4, is my favoured frequency. (1+3 I have Blackmore on a Monday, and cannot always get out two evenings a week.)

Hertford Club sounds good as a venue.

Over to others, I'm flexible, and not essential!

Tunes ?

We have had the offer of licenced premises, and must decide how often we will meet.

The new venue is the Hertford Club, a fine old riverside building bearing some marks of a WW1 Zeppelin attack.
I think 25th May is still at Carol's

The next Hertford Wednesday Session will be on 25th May - there is no Session this Wednesday, 11th May.

Hencefifth we will only meet once a month until such time as a new venue is found.

Fine session - big on quality rather than quantity of attendees!

Jacques Brel, Berthold Brecht, Rudyard Kipling songs (among others)were sung, but no ABBA - Breezy wasn't there! There was also some fine fluting from Eleanor and Hertford Alan.

New arrangements pending, but next session will be at Chauncy Court on 27th April.

Watch this space.

Alan

PS The number for Spotlight is 20050612@1930. Lanfranc Live (but partially armless).

The sixth Wednesday in the month always falls on the 12th of never.

The third Wednesday of the month used to be Bank of England reporting day when I worked in a Bank.

Sheffield Wednesday is the only football team named for a day of the week.

Paul Simon wrote a song called "Wednesday Morning 3am" which was the title of one of his early albums.

"Wednesday's child is full of woe!" - Nonsense, I was born on a Wednesday!

Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is the first Wenesday after Quinquagesima Sunday.

Wednesday in German is Mittwoch - literally "mid week"

In Latin, Wednesday was DIES MERCURII, which became the French Mercredi...

Nowadays, the best place to enjoy a civilised session on a Wednesday evening is at Chauncy Court, Hertford - see you there?

Yes Alan I was a bit confused, but then I had not met you all when the much missed Jacqui initiated these sessions......actually I'm often confused for various reasons ....beg forgiveness.

Jacqui sent me some very rude jokes today. Blush.

So why are Wednesdays so folk-heavy in the Herts/Beds region? Nothing good on telly? Maybe I can make Barton on our Wednesdays orf.

Your up against it on Wednesdays Wild Willy Barrett is running a club in The Norman King in Dunstable and worse than that, Ross has changed The Bull at Barton nights to Wednesday too.

Next Session at Chauncy Court (spelling corrected) is on Wednesday 13th April at 8:30.

For the benefit of Eleanor, and anyone else who gets confused when there are five Wednesdays in a month, in accordance with tradition laid down by our patroness, the lovely and now exiled Jacqui, these sessions are held not on alternate Wednesdays, but on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Ergo, this next session will be three weeks after the last one.

I am currently practising with my mini-disk recorder, a mixer and a blumlein pair of microphones in order to record a session for the benefit of Jacqui and Kendall. So far, so good - but, then I will need to transfer the result to a CD. I know it's theoretically possible, but haven't succeeded yet!

Then again I could find a good ale guide on Google.

Never touch the stuff myself. But I do know a flute tune called the Jug of Brown Ale ... very fast & difficult, I suspect it could only be played stone cold sober.
