Hope so Haze - it could be just the two of us. I must remember to bring you that tape of you, me and Pete D singing "only you" acapella at the end of a Pete n Rog gig a few years ago.

Happy memories of the Beverley musicians, specially at Nellies. I hear they've been hit over the head with a Licensing Act.

It is at Hodgson's.

Where is the session ??? this weekend at just Hodgesons, where the folk festival was held recently, or at both there and The Sun Inn which is more of a conducive atmosphere to the sort of gathering which seems to take place most Sunday afternoons.Also when you get to my age it isn't as far to walk to, and back of course.If anyone knows a shortcut from Lincoln Way area to Hodgesons please let me know?

Apparently mine hosts are putting on a barrel of real ale for those of us who require it. The pub doesn't normally have handpulled ale on but the experiment over the FF weekend was a success and they are happy to repeat it on a smaller scale for this Sunday.

I'm going 2 be rude B*LL*X

If it is common currency in the area then call it that.

I've been to sessions wher ethey were run liek a folk club and folk did not join in with the song or the music only in the choruses but common usage called them a session.

Tehe message was clear - this is what is going on - coe and see if you liek it have a beer and join in.

Please find the plot again - I wish I was in Beverley (there msut be asong in there (for a session) or a tune)

The other often-used expression 'singaround' doesn't describe these events accurately either. We follow the singaround format, giving everybody a turn, but that turn can be a song or a tune or two (or a poem/monologue or anything else). Musicians will often join in with accompanied songs and tunes. So if it isn't a session and it isn't a singaround, then what is it? Do we need a new name? The only reason to give something a name is to describe it accurately to someone who doesn't know. The people who sing and play in Beverley on a Sunday know what they are getting and look forward eagerly to the next one!

Mind you, me an' 'er will be in Warwick next Sunday.

session (ACTIVITY)   noun [C]
a period of time or meeting arranged for a particular activity:

presumably that would include 'a gathering of musicians who play Irish, English or Scottish or whatever, music of whatever genre.'... I can't see why that is the only acceptable meaning of the word

Osson. You are dead right son. Actually its a North Eastern term for a drink or three exported to the south of England - Hull!
I do think the term music session should be used properly though.
What you do in the Sun and elsewhere is grand - but its not a session.

To do a bit of heavy drinking is also known as a "session", well it is in 'ull.

Doesnt matter what it is called the important thing is for people to get there and enjoy themselves.

I'm happy to call them whatever you want - I only used the word session because that seems to be the common currency around here.

Not a Session in the sense that all join in but could be if the tune was known or in a common key. Good fun though and hope all turn up, especially at new venue this coming Sunday.

Define sessions?

Sir Roger
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call these events 'music gatherings', or 'singaround' or 'musicians and singers meetings?

A session is a gathering of musicians who play Irish, English or Scottish or whatever, music of whatever genre. Although each of the events listed above are good events they are not sessions
