27 Jan 11 - 03:33 PM (#3083539) Subject: Pip Ives at Frittenden, Kent 30th January From: Gavin A We're looking forward to another cracking night at the Bell & Jorrocks, Frittenden this Sunday starting at 8pm. Once more we have persuaded a pal to come along and add something special to the evening and on this occasion it's - pause for a drum roll - Pip Ives. Pip's a young gunslinger of a melodeon and anglo player with a prodigious technique.... He recently returned from the degree course at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and is now doing sterling work at the new Hobgoblin branch in Canterbury. The format we follow at Frittenden will ensure plenty of time for playing tunes, dancing and storytelling - or anything else that's entertaining and legal that you might have to give us. The Frittenden sessions take place 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. As we like to say, if you liked your pub the way it was before the telly and the computer came, this is the event for you. We look forward to seeing you on the night! Gavin and Julie Atkin For information see http://frittendenfestival.com/sessions/ or ring us on 07985 522734. |

Hope he remembers sitting in with The Old Trout Band at Broadstairs in (his) early years. Sadly we wont be at BFW this year as we have been redundanized after 21 years of loyal support to BFW |

I wonder whether I'd dare to somersault now? Or whether anyone would be daft enough to let me? Sadly, I don't think there will be any rapper or acrobatics at Frittenden this Sunday evening but I'm sure the (free) entertainment will still be well worth the trip. Gavin |
