Everyone is welcome at the Alison Arms Folk singaround, every Wednesday from 9.00ish to midnight. If you play acoustic, sing, dance, recount stories or recite poems you'll get your turn to perform. It isn't compulsory, though. If you just want to come and listen your welcome as long as you applaud until your hands hurt. We meet in an upstairs function room.
We have a wide variety of music performed, from traditional folk, through modern folk, blues, bluegrass, country, occasional jazz, to pop and rock songs sung acoustically. We even once had opera.
It really is 9.00ish, hang on someone will turn up, on rare occasions it will be closer to 10.00ish.
A singaround is very simple, we go round the room giving everyone a turn if they wish and then round again, and again until the landlord throws us out. The number of turns you get depends on the number of people there, 3-4 is typical. |
