A lot of practicing and laughter last night. Went to the Islay Inn after and joined in a few tunes including The Bloody Fields of Flanders (in D not A but it is the same finger positions one string removed)
We are currently plotting a practice session one Saturday May/June and will put the date on the events page once we find a date that suits enough people.

I was also at the islay inn session on Mon – just for a quick beer tho’, no playing for me.
While there I heard a cracking tune being played “Drowsy Maggie”. Never heard it before although I am assured it is really popular.
I think we should try and play this. Ambitious? – I think not, I reckon with a little effort we could do this. Looking at the music, it doesnt seem too hard and sounds great. See what u think.

Hi Neil,
I heard this tune before and liked it too.
We don’t do teaching/learning at our Monday sessions as there are so many tunes to practice already but maybe it can be one for one of our next tutored sessions – so many tunes to choose from.
