Well, we made it!
In one of my recent posts, I mentioned that I was living in a virtual trad desert, well we just managed to have our first session down here in good old South Essex last night!
We had a couple of fiddles, two box players, two banjo players, a whistler and a bouzouki. Not bad for a start. The villagers were packed into the pub for this first of what we hope will become a monthly session. I don’t think they’d seen anything quite like it before. Anyway a great time was had and minus a couple of train wrecks by yours truly, a great start.
I’ve posted the venue etc on the Sessions section and if anyone wants any more info mail me and I’ll do my best to answer.
Just for info, the session is planned for every second Sunday in the month starting at 5pm and going through until about 7 to 7.30pm (may be longer). It’s held in The White Hart – Public House, Great Wakering, Southend-on-Sea. It’s a wonderful oldy worldy pub with a great landlord and landlady, so if anyone’s in the area on those days come and join us.
For all those in South Essex, the White Hart Session will now be held on the third Sunday of each month not to clash with Steve's session in Chelmsford. Steve's session runs on the second Sunday of the month in the Woolpack, Chelmsford http://www.thesession.org/sessions/display/1932
Due to usual Summer holidays, it was decided to leave out July and August for the regular sessions in The White Hart. They will be on again in September starting on the Sunday 21st. and the every third Sunday in the month.
Sorry but i just couldn't help pasting these......
An Essex girl goes to the council to register for child benefit.
"How many children?" asks the council worker.
"10" replies the Essex girl.
"10?" says the council worker. "What are their names?"
"Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne and Wayne."
"Doesn't that get confusing?"
"Naah..." says the Essex girl "its great because if they are out playing in the street I just have to shout WAAYNE, YER DINNER'S READY, or WAAYNE GO TO BED NOW and they all do it..."
"What if you want to speak to one individually?" says the perturbed council worker.
"That's easy," says the Essex girl... "I just use their surnames."
An Essex girl walks into the local dry cleaners. She places a garment on the counter.
"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to pick up my dress." she says.
"Come again?" says the clerk, cupping his ear.
"No" she replies. "This time it's mayonnaise."
An Essex girl is involved in a nasty car crash and is trapped and bleeding. The paramedics soon arrive on site.
Medic: "It's OK I'm a paramedic and I'm going to ask you some questions?"
Girl: "OK"
Medic: "What's your name?"
Girl: "Sharon."
Medic: "OK Sharon, is this your car?"
Sharon: "Yes."
Medic: "Where are you bleeding from?"
Sharon: "Romford, mate."
An Essex girl was driving down the A13 when her car phone rang. It was her boyfriend, urgently warning her, "Treacle, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the A13. Please be careful!"
"It's not just one car!" said the Essex girl, "There's hundreds of them!"
Another Essex girl was involved in a serious crash; there's Blood everywhere. The paramedics arrive and drag the girl out of the car till she's lying flat out on the ground.
Medic: "OK, I'm going to check if you're concussed."
Sharon: "Ok."
Medic: "How many fingers am I putting up?"
Sharon: "Oh my god, I'm paralysed from the waist down!"
AND FINALLY..........
An Essex girl and an Irish guy are in a bar when the Essex Girl notices something strange about the wellies the Irish guy is wearing. She says, "Scuse me mate, I ain't being funny or nuffink, but why doz one of your wellies 'ave an L on it and the uva one's got an R on it?"
The Irish guy smiles, puts down his glass of Guinness and replies, "Well, I'm a little bit tick you see. The one wit the R on it is for me right foot and the one wit the L is for me Left foot"
"Cor blimey", exclaims the Essex girl, "So THATS why me knickers 'ave got C&A on them!"
