Friday 13th October 2006

And what a treat Wednesday was. Tim Edey was back in town for a while and came out to the Irish session to play a few tunes with the regulars. He was accompanied by Lucy who is a stunningly good Bodhran player. When you are joined by such good players, it lifts everbody's playing to a different level. A good evening and much longer than usual. I understand that Tim has been playing with Seamus Begley and Steve Cooney most recently, and Lunasa before that. Accordianist is in Hungary and the other banjo player is still moby.

Thursday session was good. Mostly. Two problems really. Three guitars playing different rhythms and sometimes different chords and sometimes in different keys! Oh, and a recorder player and how they like to tootle along to tunes they don't know. Hope they learn. Apart from that, some good tunes and a full pub as usual.

Nothing on the next two Sundays as far as I know, but the Anchor at Faversham on the last Sunday. Off now to play with my Behringer AB switch. On the basis of this experience of buying from them, I can recommend Thomann in Germany if you want gear. Cheap and organised!
