And the Northumbrian Pipers will be doing the Wannies Yomp, up on the 'Wild hills o' wannies' but it's too far for a Kiwi, even if I could fly.

The Wannies Yomp takes place in all weathers and converges on the hilltop at around 11am. Playing continues for as long as fingers will work / people are there / the bubbly lasts.

It's followed by a session (or actually, 2 in the same pub - one in concert pitch, the other pipes pitch), which this year is at the Queens Arms, Acomb. That goes on till .....it stops.

Was at a dance in Bebington last Sat. and they announced that the Morris men would be performing on Boxing day somewhere up that end of the Wirral, with cake on a sword and punch (or something boozy, wassail cup?)
Wasn't taking much notice of the details.

Yes, the Shroppie Fly session was on, and splendid. Lots of songs we could all join in with, singing squeezing and tootling, even the unsuspecting general public, who were singing along, and waving borrowed percussion wildly by the end of the session. Lots of easy tunes to raise the roof with. Then later some really good stuff for us to listen to open mouthed.
