Session, Frittenden, 25 October

The regular Bell+Jorrocks old fashioned and traditional music sessions continue on Sunday the 25th October - and once again we'd love to see interested folks from this forum on the night!

The sessions are held at the Bell & Jorrocks pub at Frittenden, Kent, and start at 8pm and continue until it's time to sing Nellie Dean and say goodnight. They're informal and free, with lots of old fashioned and traditional songs and tunes, and a big emphasis on variety, humour and entertainment generally - if you liked your pub the way it was before the telly and the computer came, this is the event for you.

Once again we've decided to feature a good friend, on this occasion it's Sussex anglo concertina player Tony Dunn, powerhouse behind countless sessions in his own county - so expect a good night for concertina enthusiasts. But there's no need to worry that other interests will be left out - there will be plenty of play-along country dance tunes, and sing-along choruses from regulars who often include singers, stepdancers, and fiddle, melodeon and concertina players, including ourselves.

Gavin - have a great night! Alan D and I thoroughly enjoyed doing the September session with you and we both thought it was a very well run and well attended evening. It's an excellent venue and well worth a journey out to Frittenden. I'm co-hosting a session that same night in Ditchling in Sussex, so can't make it over to Kent. Regards to Tony Dunn, whose playing is superb.

Sorry you can't make it Mr Fly - but hopefully we'll see you on another Sunday night some time not too long away. Variety is the spice, eh what!

Thanks for letting people know how much you enjoyed our last evening - I hope it will attract the forum members' interest!
