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.
