		<description><![CDATA[Alright! It&#8217;s been a month I know but I&#8217;ve been busy &#8230;&#8230; being retired. You have no idea how busy your life can get if you&#8217;re in that nice cossetted world of gainful employment. Strangely, not everyone saw the &#8216;Old George&#8217; through the same rose tinted beer glasses as I (I refer readers to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I have been preoccupied. Firstly with Facebook and secondly with organising my escape plan from Stalag Luft 18. Many of the sessioneers who feature in this diary are also on Facebook and it provides a more immediate kind of communication and response. There are a couple of pages especially for followers of the antics of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well here we are again. 3 days to Midsummer. In the middle of the festival season. Lots of gigs and events going on. As I sit here listening to Home-to-tea Girl by Roaring Jelly (now Omega 3) I am reflecting on the fortunes of the sessions. Catch them if you can by the way, they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alright. It&#8217;s been a while, I admit. But things have been happening. It&#8217;s quite exciting really as if a new wave of sessioneering has washed over East Kent. I could get into trouble with this analogy. It&#8217;s just occurred to me that such a wave would inevitably drop some kind of detritus on the way. If it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some time now, as followers of this little blog will know, I have been bemoaning the dwindling attendance at Irish Traditional Music Sessions and pondering on innovative ways of getting more players in. We have now, very sadly decided to cancel the Wednesday night Irish session as it never makes critical mass, so never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two extremes last week. The regular Irish Session in the Well Known Spoonerism &#8230;.. didn&#8217;t happen. One of the sessioneers was poorly. They give a lift to another. A third sessioneer was at choir practice and three regulars are hors de combat or disenfranchised by virtue of distance or illness. I do hope this week that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well here we are safely on the other side of St Patrick&#8217;s night. It&#8217;s a bit like the proverbial bus. Some years there are none and then the next year two come along at once. That&#8217;s what happened this year. Both the regular sessions held a St Patrick&#8217;s night &#8216;do&#8217;. Both with Irish Stew (yes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting times in the snug of the Startled Stoat of late. Some of the stalwarts have been hors de combat for a while another is being trained in far off parts and the weather have all conspired to make the Wednesday night sessions a little irregular and sparsely populated. The few extras that we attracted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Huddled in the snug of the Startled Stoat last night, just before closing time when the instruments had been lovingly laid to rest in their velvet cocoons and the last strains of the reels and jigs had died away, the question arose. &#8220;What about the Anchor?&#8221; For such an innocent question and so late at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[. Is it twenty-ten or two thousand and ten? We got used to saying the eighteen whatevers and nineteen whatevers so logically it is twenty whatevers. Anyway Happy New Year to you all. The Irish Session was badly hit by both the holidays and the weather so it was a month or so before we [...]]]></description>
