Burns night
REGULAR ACTIVITIES
Welsh Night
Tuesday nights: Glossop Folk Club.
A singaround, with a wide variety
of folk-type songs, traditional or modern. Also instrumentals or other
things –
poems, monologues, whatever you want to contribute. A good opportunity
to try out your songs (or whatever) in a friendly and informal group. Or
just come and listen –
no pressure to perform if you don’t want to. Starts about 8 pm. No
charge. Contact Robin
(01457 861606 robclay41@talktalk.net) for information.
A selection of 100 tunes (in 3 volumes) that are frequently played at the music
sessions at Glossop Labour Club can be downloaded from the Music page.
For the
benefit of
anyone who may be new to these, or indeed any, sessions, if you know any
of
these tunes we’ll be happy to join in. Of course you can suggest other
tunes –
we play lots of others as well, and we’re happy to try to join in new
ones. One
big advantage of suggesting a tune is that if you start it, we’ll play
it at
your speed! Very informal and friendly, so an ideal occasion if you are a
beginner or are not used to performing together with others.
4th Sundays. Music session. Similar to the
Friday night sessions, (but generally more varied - songs, poetry, whatever). Starts about 8 pm. Contact Michelle Holding (mlholding82@hotmail.com) for information.
Note that it is the 4th Sunday, not the last Sunday! The same thing in most months, but not always*. See the Special Events page for the date of the next session.
*To confuse the issue, the August session will be on Aug 29th (which is the 5th Sunday).
Themed Nights. In some months, we have an extra themed session on a Saturday. These usually have appropriate food,
and other relevant activities, and are very popular. No charge for
admission, but we ask for a contribution to the cost of the food. These
themed nights usually start at 8.00 rather than 8.30. See the Special Events page for information about these themed sessions, when they happen.
See the Special Events page for information on the next Folk Train.
