Session at The Spotted Dog this Thursday November 8th

An email from Mr John Mostyn reads as follows.

A session? Yep, it's not a gig.

What's a session? Well it's a bunch of people sitting around playing and singing.

Playing and singing what? At this particular session tunes you know and love from the 50's to the 70's.

Who is sessioning then? It's a sort of acoustic 'Brent Ford and the Nylons' with maybe a few friends.

Who the heck are they? Well they were one of the top bands in town in the late 70's

Who was in that? Vo Fletcher, Jim Bates, Dick Nelson and John Mostyn

Getting on a bit? Yep but still frisky! and now joined by William Murphy who is the baby of the group.

So why are they suddenly doing this? Well Dick is leaving to live in Sussex and we thought it would be a good chance to play some of the tunes that we have enjoyed playing over the last erm... while and wish him Bon Voyage!

Anyone else playing? Maybe, the only rule is that you have to play songs that people know. Playing guests are welcome as is everyone, especially people who like to sing along.

No drums then? Nope, this is chilled, I will have my egg shaker and tambourine though! and if Jim Nylon comes he might do us a tambourine solo as he's very good.

So what tunes can we expect? Anything from Chuck Berry to The Grateful Dead with lots in between.

So it's not a gig then? Nope it's a session.

Cost anything? Nope.

Where is it again? It's at the nicest pub in town - The Spotted Dog, Alcester St, Digbeth:

Very cool landlord and team and real ale.

This Thursday.

Be there and be square.

Pass it on.
