Well, what a grand evening we had last night at The Ostrich! 5 musicians and 11 audience members made for a cosy crowd in a lovely room. The beer was good, the service was great (we even had a very efficient, quiet pot collector!), and the evening flew by. We had songs of all sorts, chat about even more sorts and a short history lesson about The Ostrich. Next month I won't be able to be there, but the rest of the crowd will be carrying on the good work in my absence. Thanks to Wayne for the photo, see you in September, Martin.

Hi everyone, I've secured a new home for the All Things Considered Acoustic Session. From Tuesday 15th July we will be taking over a delightful room, just off the main bar area at The Ostrich Hotel163 Bury Old Rd, Prestwich, Manchester M25 1JF

The landlord and landlady, Jay and Julie, are delightful and very supportive, and I look forward to developing our relationships with them as the months progress. THEY HAVE DRAUGHT BEER!

They also have a huge beer garden, with a purpose-built stage, which we may take advantage of at some time in the future - watch this space !

So, spread the word and do your best to get down and give us a rousing first night

8.30PM TUESDAY 15th JULY

I'd like to thank Mark at the DBA for his hospitality over the last year or more and wish him well with his events at the pub going forward.,

GEOFF HIGGINBOTTOM MEMORIAL CONCERT.

As many of you already know, the idea of a Memorial Concert to raise money for Christie's and MacMillan Nurses was discussed at Geoff's wake. There was resounding support for the idea and i have now provisionally booked the main hall at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre, Smedley Lane, Cheetham, for the evening of Saturday 15th November 2025.

Now, it's over to you.

We want to celebrate the great contribution Geoff made to folk music and to do this we need acts willing to perform for free! (although it may be possible to provide travel expenses to anyone coming from a distance)
So, if you'd like to throw your hat in the ring, please say so here and also, email me using [email protected] so I can start compiling an emailing list for communication.
Also, as soon as you know that you will be attending, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know how any of you there will be, so I can start to get an idea of how well supported this is going to be. I'll arrange ticket sales in the week or so and. if you'd like to book a table for a group of people coming together let me know that as well, also using [email protected]

That's all for now. I'll go and have a brew while the emails start flooding in!

We may be a little thin on the ground tonight, with a few people away this week. Let's make the most of it anyway! Singers, musicians, poets, lemming jugglers all welcome! Even bagpipes!!

Looking forward to a grand Irish celebration on Tuesday. Dust off your Danny Boy, Wipe down your Wild Rover, Shake out your Shamrock and let's get into some serious singing!!

We're having a Paddy's weekend 'wind down' at the Derby Brewery Arms next Tuesday!!

DOESN'T TIME FLY!?
It's already time for this month's session. We'll gather at around 8.30 for an evening of music song, poetry, craic and, probably, silliness. Everyone is welcome to come and join in, whether as a performer or an enthusiastic audience member.
Bring your instruments, your words, your views, your insights and your applause and get stuck in!

Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope it brings better days for us all.

Tomorrow night we will, as usual, be foregathering at the Derby Brewery Arms for some fun and frolics, songs and stories, chit and chat.

It would be wonderful to have the pleasure of your company and the benefit of your contribution, whether as a provider or a recipient.

There is a little 'unfinished business' from December, which will be dealt with early in the evening's proceedings and then it will be full steam ahead into 2025!!

I hope you will be able to join us.

Hi there, just a quick reminder that there's our usual monthly session tomorrow night 8.30pm at the Derby Brewery Arms - weather permitting. I hope you will be able to make it.
It's been suggested that we could have some nibblers to share around, so, feel free to bring a small contribution, I will supply some nuts!
