HACONBY HARETraditionalTUNE SESSIONS

These are cracking evenings of traditional music - mainly english polkas, jigs, reels, hornpipes and waltzes, played on acoustic-only instruments, typically fiddles, melodeons, guitars, flutes, bodhrans and even the odd hammered dulcimer (and they are very odd).

Besides english tunes, you might hear a few irish, american, scots, swedish and french-canadian creep in from time to time. There's not usually any singing - that happens in the pub on different nights - see the footnote.

The Tune Sessions happen in the Bar of the Hare & Hounds pub, 2 West Road, Main St, Haconby, Bourne, Lincs, PE10 0UZ.

The pub is easy to find, in the village of Haconby, 1/4 mile off the A15, 3 miles north of Bourne.

Admission is free, so come to enjoy a drink and listen to the Tune Session music, provided by Pete Shaw & friends, and there's usually two hand-pulled beers and a range of others.

We aim to start the music around 7.30pm and finish around 10.30pm.

More details: Pete Shaw on 01778 571563 or email pete AT peteshaw.co.uk  You can ask to go on the email reminder list - or just turn up. If you're a guitarist or music reader, some chords & music are available in advance - email or ring Pete as above.
