Now that things have settled down to (near) normal again, it's difficult to find new things to post except reports of the sessions. However, sometimes sessions turn out to be quite unexpected and worth a mention. Such was the case last Thursday when the back bar of the Bear contained more musicians (well some musicians and some just with musical instruments) than punters. There were 2 new faces - a Duette and a flute. The flute was from the States and played some very nice Irish Reels. The Duette seemed a bit on the Musical Hall side of things but nicely done all the same.
Colin the concertina, two irregular fiddle players one of whom is called Martin and also the lovely Heather Grabham made a welcome appearance, but offset by both plinky and thumpy. If thumpy tries to play that hunting horn one more time ... On the bright side, plinky is much more considerate these days.
And Ralphie played the Dambusters. Well it's a change from the Budgie song and nicely done I might say.
There is a mixed session tonight at the Plough and Harrow Tilmanstone. Not mixed as in boys and girls but mixed as in French, English, Irish etc music - not a pure session like the Irish ones tend to be. Speaking of the Irish session, we haven't seen Jez for an awful long time now. Probably chasing cash point raiders and 12 year olds with guns instead of the serious stuff - banjo playing! Ho hum.
There will be the last Sunday session at the Anchor, Faversham this coming Sunday. Strictly Irish of course.
