19-May-09 Low Row Folk Session

A return visit for us to this friendly club held at the Railway Inn at Low Row, not far from Brampton in Cumbria.

It's run on a singaround basis, one each (or two for duos) at a time. There was a theme tonight of Spring or May and, as you might suspect, there were many inventive introductions allegedly pertaining to the theme! There was a good turnout and most sing unaccompanied.

There was a lady (Ann?) who had a guitar with her but mostly sang unaccompanied! Pete was a newcomer to playing in public and did well with guitar accompanied songs before surprizing us all when he went out to his car and came back with an accordion for his final stint!

There's no break and no raffle so there's plenty of time for lots of songs and there was time to go around the room four times - so we did four stints of two songs per go, with appreciative listening and joining in from those present. We finished the night with 'One More Song' and it was lovely to hear everyone heartily joining in.
