TThurs session will definitely not be in the pub and the barn is not heated. This is devastating for me. I first went to the pub when I was 8 or 9. And they wouldn't buy me a cider!!!!! |

Now they didn't have to go to those lengths we would have sung quietly! |

27 Feb 04 - 02:28 PM (#1125303) Subject: RE: Fleece Inn (nr Evesham) seriously burnt From: Eugene Judge The burning of any pub is not good news wherever it is! I'm in the Cotswolds for a week from Sat 6 March staying at Snowshill near Evesham. Any nearby sessions worth visiting? |

27 Feb 04 - 04:44 PM (#1125374) Subject: RE: Fleece Inn (nr Evesham) seriously burnt From: Abuwood We were at the Fleece only last week talking with Nigel the Landlord, I am so upset to see it on the news tonight. Eugene Shellbacks will be singing in the Crown & Trumpet Broadway in the early morning till lunch and the Volunteer Chipping Camden late afternoon. I have yet to find an alternative lunch venue. Pm me for more details. |

28 Feb 04 - 11:02 AM (#1125699) Subject: RE: Fleece Inn (nr Evesham) seriously burnt From: Snuffy There was the regular Thursday session/sing at the Fleece, Eugene, but nothing else really close. I was there Thursday night as usual, and will be going down to see Nigel today. More news later, I hope. |

28 Feb 04 - 11:02 AM (#1125700) Subject: RE: Fleece Inn (nr Evesham) seriously burnt From: Mr Red Eugene Judge :- See cresby.com Crown and Trumpet is on the Snowshill Rd from Broadway (about 200 yds ish) Sat night bar music and 2nd Thurs (er..... see site) blues. The Fleece IS the local session(s) two per Thur. Chipping Norton has a monthly Sun. Fladbury Anchor one Fri and...... oh I haven't got my page up right now but there isn't a lot - but some. Pershore? Bakers Arms Broad Campden 3rd Tues Let me know what you find (even if it is not your week) I saw Nigel on telly and he had a wet patch on the side of his eye. He is a real folk friend. We won't say too much about him being a morris dancer........... |

But in the meantime Nigel intends to sell drinks from the tithebarn. So .... THE NORMAL SESSION/SING WILL TAKE PLACE THIS (AND EVERY) THURSDAY |

25 Mar 04 - 08:10 PM (#1146293) Subject: Lyr add: Singing in the Fleece From: Snuffy The Thursday sessions have continued uninterrupted since the fire. I wrote this to express the feelings of many of us, and sang it there tonight. Singing in the FleecePlaying in the Pewter Room, you would see the folkiesFiddles, bodhrans, whistles, boxes that you squeeze And the happy voices, joining with the music Every Thursday evening, singing in the Fleece Singing in the Fleece, singing in the FleeceThen that dreadful Friday, when the flames were leaping Smoke hung o'er the village, carried by the breeze Firemen couldn't save it, not much roof remaining Would that be the end to singing in the Fleece? Singing in the Fleece, singing in the FleeceNigel was undaunted, he would not be beaten Said "The Fleece ain't dead yet. Music will not cease. Open up the tithe barn; heaters, seats and tables Come along next Thursday, for singing in the Fleece." "And we shall rebuild it, rising from the ashes All shall be restored and then we'll be at peace Once more in the Pewter Room, hear the joyful voices Every Thursday evening, singing in the Fleece" |

08 Apr 12 - 12:19 PM (#3335389) Subject: RE: Fleece Inn (nr Evesham) seriously hot From: MuddleC Well, despite the candle tradition I seem to have started (candlelabra bringers, monster candle suppliers and brasso tin exponents you know how you are) it is still alive and kicking with Nigel(bloke with northern accent who seems to have no other home to go to) feeding Morris the budgie..and us! Sometimes you can't move for boxes, or you get a bow in your eye, other times it's back to basic voices, we let anyone in ..even guitar players and Alan Whitbread... although an Alan Whitbread with every guitar could be problematic... we'd have to send for 'extra chairs' (one of Nigel's) or I'll sing a death/disaster song. Wurlitzer organs not allowed on account they scare Morris., bagpipes (somewhere for Morris to perch)and cut-down pianos operated by teeth nails and hammers welcomed! (Remember, only one Alan Whitbeard allowed in at a time for the sake of the beer! |
