A Brief Update
So it looks as though the Irish Session has run its course – as Judy feared. The session now is nothing like the session that started 12? 14? years ago so Andy’s point about the illusion of continuity is well made.
When it comes to sessions, I think of myself as a Darwinist – sessions do evolve and change and adapt and they will not stay the same. So I guess it’s natural that the participants change as well. Natural selection weeds out the nuisance players and a few people upgrade to alpha-sessioneers.
I’m game for starting something else and changing the format – we’ll discuss it tonight no doubt.
I am pleased that the Conyer session is happening again, and I hope all went well last night. Good luck to Shiner and the Bear cubs.
I am reminded that there is a session at Eastry (I think), sometime (Sundays?) which attracts quite a draw of reed players of the steel and brass variety. No scraping or hooting as far as I can tell. Players of twangy things are welcome though.
Not sure what is going to happen tomorrow. Given Mike’s new technique of arriving late and as a sitcom character, anything could be visited upon the unsuspecting sessioneers.
