20 Dec 11 - 04:36 PM (#3277339) Subject: Session at Frittenden 29th Dec From: GUEST,Gavin Atkin We're looking forward to a lovely night with favourite local singer Peter Collins and the wonderful Udimore hand bell ringers at the Bell & Jorrocks, Frittenden on Thursday the 29th December, starting at 8pm. (NB - this is the THURSDAY, not our usual Sunday night.) After having had a rest and some time at home over Christmas, we're hoping you'll all be ready for another jolly evening of singing and music down at the B&J - I know we will be. Peter will be giving his tremendous voice some exercise and of course we'll as the bellringers to chime in with their performances - but the format we follow at Frittenden is designed to make sure there's time for the rest of us to play tunes, sing dance and tell stories - or anything else that's entertaining and legal that you might have to give us. The Frittenden sessions are an entertaining old fashioned and traditional pub evening with songs and tunes, and plenty of variety and good humour. If you've got a song, a tune, a stepdance or story, enjoy joining in with a chorus or just like listening in the bar, please come along. We go on until it's time to close with Nellie Dean the old way – just as people used to before the telly and the computer. 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. |

21 Dec 11 - 12:42 PM (#3277803) Subject: RE: Session at Frittenden From: GUEST,Gavin Atkin Thanks for the recommendation Alan! Frittenden has many treacle mines - traces of them can be found in various fields and gardens, and there's a particularly good one at the back of the village hall. I can't promise you'd easily find one on a dark night in December, though there may be a local or two who could be persuaded to tell a tale or two... We live in another village nearby, but it doesn't have treacle mines, though I must tell you that the soil can be very treacly at times. Gavin |

28 Dec 11 - 09:50 AM (#3280999) Subject: RE: Session at Frittenden From: Richard Bridge I think more people compare Peter's voice to chocolate fondue than to treacle, although I could see room for argument. Every chance of a good night for singing... |
