A genuine no-rules session of tunes and songs, that includes improving players in a supportive environment. This session can be so good, even Yorkshire people abandon their own session and invest £5 in crossing the former longest-suspension-bridge-in-the-world Humber Bridge to participate. Numbers vary from three to twenty, but usually average eight or nine, and sometimes boasts Oakley, fiddler to legendary Hull band Punch the Horse, and the mythical Cara.
Due to PEL problems and landlord change, the Sloop session has moved to the Six Bells in Barrow Upon Humber. The session still has the same inclusive ethic, and is a successful tune and accompanied song session. It is still held every Tuesday night, from 8.30 'til late.
The session at the six Bells is still going a Barrow good beer and a good session. very welcoming for all ages and skills. Very busy at school holidays. Many really skilled players but still let everyone join in.
