A quiet and fairly normal week so far. Just the regular Wednesday Irish session at the Anchor, Wingham with the regular players - Andybanjo, Ian the piper, Judy the whistle, Twizzle, Rick the flute and Pete the Accordian and yours truly. The Thursday session in the Bear still bothers me. Something somewhere is out of tune and it isn't me.
Anyway, this weekend is the Deal Maritime Folk Festival (aka Sea Shanty Festival) and for sessions, there is an Irish one tonight at the Ship in Middle Street from 8:00 and on Sunday, there is a choice. Both 12:00 to 3:00 - ish, there is another Irish at the Deal Hoy, always a welcoming venue but a bit crowded and then there is a 'playalong' with Mike Wheeler from The Watershed Barn Dance Band and friends back at the Ship in Middle Street.
It was at the Deal Festival where, famously and misguidedly, a French duo were invited into the small bar of the King's Head. They play full Highland Pipes and Bombard. It really did hurt your ears. I have never experienced anything so loud or so painful.
