It's been a while I'm afraid. Well the sessions have moved and morphed as they always do. Pete is back with us (no pun intended.... or did I) restored to health. Working with Pete is like having a twin brother who knows exactly what you're going to say. It's uncanny. A new fiddler - Larry joined us with his rather nice blonde fiddle. But no Andybanjo this week .

The mixed lumpy has been quite good, and this week someone did have words with the string bass player - he was just awful. Loud, with the wrong rhythm and hoplessly off key. None of us could play.

Reculver barbeque tonight and hoping to see the golden path up to the towers at sunset. The weather has been too poor for the past 3 or 4 years. Last year was abandoned when a thunderstorm came over. Lots of tunes I hope.

I think everyone who plays traditional music in Kent has now been through Pete Brown's studio in Folkestone to put something down for Adrian O's Weaving CD. It will be interesting to hear how all the contributions have been combined.
