Wednesday entertainment rocks in Christchurch Folk Music Session, Bournemouth, Dorset, England, UK

I found myself down on the South Coast of England in the Bournemouth suburb of Christchurch, Dorset, fancied a bit of entertainment, noticed it was the last Wednesday of the month and took the opportunity of dropping in to Ye Olde George Inn for their last Wednesday of the month folk session. (Always check with the Inn to confirm schedule in case of changes).

This well established folk session was held in a dedicated bar with folkies playing all sorts of instruments plus a bit of singing. Types of music included Cornish, Irish and a fair number of English waltzes.

By the end of the evening, I found myself in discussion with a theology graduate who also played an amazing number of traditional instruments including the pibgorn and was explaining to me all about the cabbala or kabbalah (I hope I've got the spelling right), fascinating!

Especially for folk musicians who are keen to grow their skills and are interested in English folk tunes and the interesting people who play them, this friendly Dorset folk session seems ideal.

Bye for now
