HACONBY HARE MUSIC 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 double bass.
Besides english tunes, you might hear a few irish, american, scots, french-canadian, french and cajun creep in from time to time.
We play 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, whether you come to join in the playing or come to enjoy a drink and listen to the music. The Landlords are the very welcoming Derek & Mary Holmes and there's usually two hand-pulled beers and a range of others.
The pub's Restaurant, Bar & Snug are open for meals 6pm to 8pm (you can book on 01778 570132) and we aim to start the music around 8pm, or slightly later if the diners in the Bar are slow finishing their dinners. The music finishes at 11pm.
The dates are the 3rd Mondays of the month - Mon 20 Feb, 19 Mar, 16 Apr, 21 May, 18 Jun, etc. Why not come along to the next one?
