| Our thanks to everyone who made it yesterday evening - it
was another entertaining, interesting and busy session, and my thanks go
to Liz Randall and Mick Lynn for turning in some admirable performances.
I know that at least two box players in the audience were very struck by Mick's playing in particular, and I know I could do with a melodeon lesson or two... March is our big month at Frittenden, with a string of visiting musicians, singers, dancers and other performers coming down for the festival on the 19th and 20th. The 20th is the big day, but I hope many of you will also be interested in the bar session we're planning for the evening of Friday the 19th. It'll be very much the same style as the Sunday night sessions, but with some additional new faces and old friends coming, I think it'll be an interesting night. See the website http://frittendenfestival.com for more on the festival itself. Looking just a little further ahead, just a week after the festival on the 28th March it will be time for another of our regular sessions. This time we're delighted to be able to announce that our featured guest for the evening is our old friend Will Duke, a Londoner who moved to Sussex decades ago and who has immersed himself in the songs and tunes of his adopted county. Gav PS Here's the usual commercial to pass on to friends: The sessions take place at the Bell & Jorrocks pub at Frittenden, Kent, and start at 8pm and continue until it's time to sing Nellie Dean and say goodnight. They're informal and free, with lots of old fashioned and traditional songs and tunes, and a big emphasis on variety, humour and entertainment generally - as we like to say, if you liked your pub the way it was before the telly and the computer came, this is the event for you.
