Dear Everyone,
TUNES SESSION LED BY YOGI ALLEN & SASKIA JACKSON
LEWES ARMS FOLK CLUB, SATURDAY 1ST. DECEMBER 8.00 - 11.00 PM
Bring instruments to join in largely English tunes led by Yogi on melodeon and Saskia on fiddle. Both belong to Brighton Morris’s excellent band. Singers are welcome too. Admission £3.
ENGLISH TUNES SESSION, TREVOR ARMS, GLYNDE, SUNDAY 2ND. DECEMBER, 3.30 - 5.30 PM
Meic Goodyear usually leads on fiddle, but will be away in Manchester captaining The Lute Society team in a recording of ‘University Challenge – The Professionals’. Those of us left will make a strenuous effort to fill the gap in his absence and hope that viewers will be amazed to discover that Karl Marx apparently belongs to the Lute Society (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_marx)

"belongs" ? 
what do they do - keep his ashes in the bowl! ;-) 1d x

CONCERTINAS ANONYMOUS
LEWES ARMS CLUB-ROOM, MONDAY 3RD DECEMBER, 8.00 - 11.00 PM
The session might have to start a little later – but not more than half an hour at the most - while we wait for a practising choir to finish in the adjacent room.
This is Bryan Creer's regular free session for concertina players of all systems and abilities. What happens depends largely on who turns up, but there's usually some part-playing at some stage and a few session tunes get severely beaten up.
JOHN HARVEY TUNES SESSION, BEAR YARD, LEWES
TUESDAY 4TH. DECEMBER 8.00 - 11.00 PM
The usual English tunes session comes round again. If you'd like to lead one of these sessions, which are always on the first Tuesday of the month, let me know. Keith Macdonald and Brian Cooper have earmarked the February 2008 session.
   
LEWES FAVOURITES ENGLISH TUNES PRACTICE SESSION, LEWES ARMS CLUB-ROOM, WEDNESDAY 19TH. DECEMBER, 8.00 - 11.00 PM
The monthly free practice for anyone wanting to practice tunes popular in local English sessions on any instrument. Andy Warburton has compiled two unbound supplements, one of a further 33 trendy tunes and another with a small selection of Scan Tester’s material; both are available to people coming to the practice sessions for the not unreasonable sum of £30p, but limited to one copy per person. They can also be downloaded from the Lewes Arms Folk Club website.
SID KIPPER PRESENTS 'A KIPPER COUNTRY CHRISTMAS' AT THE LEWES ARMS on SUNDAY 9TH. DECEMBER.
This is sold out but we may get returned tickets for resale.
A list of Lewes Arms Folk Club workshops in 2008 follows my signature. Belshazzar’s Feast have moved from 14th. June to 6th. December and we are delighted to add a workshop with Will Duke on Scan Tester’s tunes on 5th. July. We’ll also add a ballad forum, but the date has yet to be fixed.
Tootle pip,
Valmai
