Subject: SCANDAL NIGHTS at TOM THUMB


Friday 13th January. 7.30pm (doors open at 7pm):

Scandal Nights (£6/5)

The Tom Thumb Theatre is delighted to welcome back the wonderful Scandalmongers, for another night of incredible storytelling, performance and live music. This month Rachel Rose Reid returns to Scandalnights with a spread of tales and story ballads to tickle the imagination and soothe the soul. She is joined by the fantastic Frankie Jordan and the magnificent Tom Thumb Band.

"Raised with one foot in the folk circuit and the other in the urban sprawl, RRR crosses between the spoken word and storytelling scenes in London and across the UK, with immense skill and breathless conviction" (The Times).

Subject: Horsmonden Trad music classes 11th January


The next
Gun & Spitroast traditional music class is on Wednesday the 11th January. The tunes - The New Rigged Ship and Marthy (by special request) - are on the website now.

We'll likely play a couple of tunes from earlier classes to warm up, but the real work of the evening will be to concentrate on the new tunes, which we'll play steadily and slowly, only moving on to the next one when it seems right to do so. We'll also spend some time thinking about how we can tackle the tunes and make them lively, danceable and interesting.

Towards the end of the evening, we may retire to the bar for some rather more informal sessioning!

We meet at the Gun & Spitroast pub at Horsmonden at 8pm on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. The classes are free and all are welcome.

Download pdfs, abcs and access YouTubes of the tunes we're working with at:
