I have to mention the Thursday session at the Bear. Mike and Ruth are away for a couple of weeks so it's sort of running itself with me keeping it together. Shelagh was worried that there might not but that many musicians turning up because a) it's Easter and b) some might not come if M&R were away and c) some said they were busy.
Imagine my surprise to find that we had 21 musicians from the Bear Cubs to Erwin Libbrecht gracing our little session. The back bar was absolutely packed as you can imagine. Well, you can if you've ever been there. The temperature must have been in 3 figures (old money of course) and there was a dangerous lack of oxygen / build up of CO2 but nothing deterred us.
There were a few regulars in the audience but quite a few missing as well. More than made up for though by the number of musicians which included Chris and Ellie, Dave and Carol, Martin and Stephanie, Shiner and the cubs, Ray, Gunther, Giesler, Heather,John and the usuals such as myself, Shelagh, Barbara and Colin. If we'd had George(ina), Bill, Chris, Peter and some of the others, it would have been totally impossible to get us all in.
A jolly good time was had by all and it was midnight before we got out!
The Irish session is still debating about Sunday nights. Although the landlord of the ship at Ospringe is being kind to us, and the next session is due on the 2nd Sunday (May I presume). Some will be in Ypres and some on holiday so not a good time to hold a session.
