We landed lucky last night. We agreed to meet at the Earl of Essex to see if we could play there but when I went in earlier in the week the guvnor didn't seem too enthusiastic but took my number anyway. I phoned round and changed the meeting to the Chevy Chase and while the first of us were walking in the guvnor there was phoning me having been passed my number by the guvnor of the Earl of Essex!
So we played and he was keen to have us back so the details are:
9pm
The Chevy Chase
The Grove
Stratford
London E15
Its a small pub on the doglog of the old A11 out of Stratford towards Leytonstone and is almost opposite Maryland Station (mainline) about 10 minutes walk from Stratford for the Underground.
Apparently there is a session there on Fridays too which I intend to investigate.
PJ is worried about the safety of the musicians on this night plus it will be just too noisy to play so we are moving to Friday night just for this week. We may play elsewhere locally on Thursday - watch this space.
Just to remind you we're not on on Thursday for reasons of comfort and safety but will be on on Friday. I haven't been able to arrange an alternative location for Thursday.
PJ is running Sunday afternoon sessions starting at 2pm once a month. Unfortunately he does give much notice of these.
They are being led by Goretti Anglim who often brings daughter Carlene and son Richard. She intends to invite a guest musician each time to act as co-leader.
I had a great time yesterday. You were great great musicians as well as great people. Too bad I just had about an hour to spend there. I hope we could meet again (when I have updated my tune repertoire, maybe?).
The Thursday Irish Traditional session has been going long and strong.
The Sunday session is now well established. It has some great musicians - some who come regularly and visiting players. Such good music, such fun and a great welcoming atmosphere. Try it out!
Our local session is under threat. The venue, The Chevy Chase in Stratford, London, UK may be turned into a lap-dancing club or strip joint if a planning application by it's owners succeeds.
If you live in or near the area and would care to object to the application please PM me and I will send you details of who to object to. The objection must be lodged before 26th June.
The Thursday night session has moved to the Golden Fleece, 166, Capel road, London E12 5DB. This is an old country pub on Wanstead Flats, quite comfortable with well kept beers. About 5 minutes walk from Manor Park Station and in easy reach of quite a few bus routes.
Formerly at the Princess of Wales
