Best from my point of view is Arreton Barns on a Tuesday, music to start and finish (landlord is a superb box player)and then round the room, with song, tune, stories. Hope it's still going, havn't been to the island for 5 months. |

Could of course be totally wrong about that detail. However what I do know is that to leave a message for him here or the Middle Bar singers site on Yahoo will get a response as to what goes on in that there place. aaargh me hearties. Psychomorris |

10 Mar 08 - 09:54 AM (#2284273) Subject: RE: Sessions on the Isle of Wight From: Andy Jackson Well we're back! Wow, so much interest in the IOW Folk scene. The Club we help with is The Downland Folk Club, at the Castle Inn in Newport, Monthly on the second Friday start about 8:15 or so. ( Which makes the next one this Friday 14th) Planned to be a Traditional and Shanty Club we take your name as you arrive and I try to sort out a running order. Not a singaround as such but I hope everyone gets a chance. Every Tuesday there is a folk night at the Dairyman's Daughter at Arreton Barns. A mix of music, song and verse etc. Again not so much a sing around but a "whatever you want" around. We tend to join in with most musicians but listen surprisingly attentively to the Unnacompanied singers amongst us. On the third Tuesday we have Paul's session at the Stag on Horsebridge Hill, on the Newport to Cowes road. Much like the barn but quieter. For a fuller view of what might be happening have a look here. Island Folk n stuff See you somewhere. Andy Meanwhile have a look at |
