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.
