Session East London for Sorcha!!!!!!

Subject: Session East London for Sorcha!!!!!!
From: Catherine Jayne

There will be a session in the back bar of the Black Lion Pub in Plaistow East London from 7:30pm to welcome Sorcha to UK on Sunday 18th April.

It will be a mixed session....singing and instruments. Its a cosy pub and serves a decent pint.

It would be really nice to see as many catters as possible there and get Sorcha trip off on a good note!

If you need directions please PM me or Micca!!

See you there

There's going to be a session the night before at our place, so if you want to come to both, but don't fancy travelling back and forth, we have some crash space if anyone wants to stay over.

Youngs and Fullers both brew a decent pint - And there are a few good small breweries too. And the pint ISNT all froth like some of the Northern beers.

The pub has Guest Beers when we were in there on Friday there was Timothy Tailors Landlord, Curage Directors and Broadside I am sure there will be something there for people to drink...Hey if a Northern Lass like me can find a decent pint here I am pretty sure others can!

Liz....We will see what time the dinner party with some of the Ravens finishes ( and if we are in a fit state to walk!) and we might come over to the house session....as those of you who know what our dinner parties are like, they have been known to carry on well into the wee small hours of the morning!!!

See you at the airport on Saturday Sorcha!!!

Can you be a little more forthcoming re the style of music at this session?

Linda and I should be at The Black Lion on Sunday - are we sure that Kendall will be there as well ? (jacqui ?). I'm not sure if we'll be able to make your session Liz - are they still closing Blackwall Tunnel southbound on Saturdays.

Harpmaker - if you had been brought up on our superb southern beers, I'm sure that you would never have had any problems with the size of your penis !

There is a car park for the pub just off the main road so thats not a problem. We will be there from just before 7:30pm. The session will be in the back bar. Music is all accoustic and British, Irish, Scottish, Appalachian is all welcome will we see you there GUEST,Hootenanny??

Subject: RE: Session East London for Sorcha!!!!!!
From: manitas_at_work

Hootenanny,

If I'm any judge of those who said they will be there it will be mostly singing, with a predominance of chorus songs both accompanied and unaccompanied. The content of a session is always defined by the performers actually there irregardless of whether it's supposed to be Irish trad, English Country, French, come-all-ye or whatever.

I, for one, will be there and hope to play a few tunes. I mostly play Irish but will happily play along with other styles to fit in with others.

Just suck it and see...

Subject: RE: Session East London for Sorcha!!!!!!
From: GUEST,Hootenanny

Thanks for the info Fingers but I don't suck anything until I'm sure that it's safe so I'll be pickin' and grinnin' elsewhere.

From what I can gather, Blackwall Tunnel will be closed soutbound on Sunday night after 9pm. Originally the stoppages should have finished at the end of March, but I gather the the work is now being extended to August at least. Ah well another night when we'll have to drive all the way to Dartford Bridge (and the same distance back the other side - an extra 17 miles) - and pay a quid for the priviledge.

Dave , you could drive in towards town and either cross by the Rotherhithe Tunnel or over Tower Bridge, they should only add about 3 and 5 miles respectively!!

I know I am going to regret asking but...why a pheasant?? Is Sorcha a pheasant plucker or just a pheasant pluckers mate?

So ... when is she coming to Wales? When can we meet up? Her public demands to know!

My home computer is so antiquated it wouldn't download the pics but I viewed them at work. I think I was wearing a pheasant, but on that shirt (bought in Whitby for Jim Mageean's Wednesday session in the Endeavour) it's hard to tell!

Mrs Duck - Sorcha explained that the pheasant is the emblem of her home town, and she'd brought a bagful of pheasant lapel badges, which she distributed to all Catters present (preasant?). We all then dutifully recited "I'm not the pheasant plucker....."

I guess if Kendall has an emblem it's a walrus? (If in doubt, consult Chambers.)

I thought Sorcha and Leadfingers were stopping off in Cardiff on Thursday (I think)this week for a session. Sorcha will be back in East London on Friday afternoon. I am not aware that she will be in Wales any other time......

Here's a story about a pheasant who was the symbol of his town - The Pheasant and the Fox:

"I'm the pride of the whole town, the symbol, the figurehead, and the crowning glory."

But I'm sure that's not Sorcha's town, where I'm sure they wodl copr much better with the situation. (But there is some great stuff in that link to a site called "Fables" - and some very interesting links too.)

There were a couple more people at that session that haven't appeared in photos yet, or on the list. Thanks, micca and ColK, for carrying one of them out at the end of the night when she was unconscious (see Vladimir the Inhaler thread)!

Good idea Andy. I have already spoken to the landlord regarding a possible mudgather at some point later in the year. A monthly session in there would be a good idea...will look into it and post some suggestions!
