New session starting in The Speedwell Bar (Mennies Bar) on Perth Road in Dundee on Tuesday 30th September 2008. This will be a weekly session. It will have a mix of largely Scottish and Irish music. It will be tunes based.
This is great news for Dundee. It's incredible the number of musicians and singers there are in the area just waiting for somewhere to "happen". I hope to make it down this coming week with my wee fiddle in tow
We had a great opening night, with good order for music, reserved tables, two drink rounds served at the tables, lots of Irish and Scottish tunes, and a great bunch of musicians, including a great visiting banjo player from Cisco, happy welcoming locals, and a very accomodating land lord!
Hope to see a load more of you there next week too!
Tuesday 8.30 onwards in back room of the Speedwell's (Mennie's) on the perth road!
Well the second session was every bit as good as the first. Three new faces to the session compared to last week and we had a great mix of Irish and Scottish tunes. Its just so good to have a session with a good acoustic, atmosphere, appreciative locals and a supportive landlord. This is only in its infancy, but if things continue how they have started then this is going to be a super sesh.
It's be great to see some more new faces next week! In Dundee, Musicians crawling out of the woodwork is quite an extradordinary, but a very welcome, sight to behold!
We are onto our 3rd week of Irish and Scottish tunes in the Speedwells, Dundee, who are fantastic hosts. It'd be great to see a few new faces, and a few older ones too! Starts 8.30pm see you there!
Great Irish tunes in the Speedwells, Dundee - take four!
Well, this session is well and truly ensconsed now. The landlord and locals love it, we've had three great weeks of tunes and even the barmaid plays a few tunes!! See you at 8.30 tonight, and every tuesday night hereafter......
