still forgetting we're here!
A busy weekend with a hat trick of ceilidhs... Twinning society in Fordingbridge with guest from Vimoutiers, then a fundraising do for Elsie's Rose in association with Meyrick Lodge and lastly a knees up in barn at @dtabrewery.bsky.social

Great with Catherine for her birthday. Along with about 80 family and friends we again had a ball. Even some of the teenagers danced!

Murphys Lore Trio Murphys Lore have a growing reputation for live performances of songs melding trad folk with attitude, rousing and rollicking but also wistful and whimsical.

the Trio are very much looking forward to our spot at Swanage Folk Festival this September..

Bloomin' epic...
Katrina's birthday ceilidh - great dancing from start to finish.. what more can a band ask for?
Full floor, fab food...great hospitality.

great intimate barn dance last night. smallest party we've done probably but as much fun as usual.

Great evening at St.Mark's for a family barn dance. A sold out event with a good mix of ages.
Galopede, Buffalo Gals, Flying Scotsman amongst others were danced and everyone had a great time.

Still not quite got used to the fact that we have an account here, hence the silence!
Had a busy few weeks through Jan and Feb, a good burns night out in Woodgreen , Hampshire plus a couple of private functions with the Ceilidh band and a new pub to perform at in Southampton with the Trio .

Of course us folkies know that Hang Man was a reinvented version of the song Prickle Eye Bush, which itself was brought back to prominence by Spiers and Boden...

Had a great afternoon yesterday thanks to SamandSound and Wayland’s Sixpenny Brewery .
An 'open mic' afternoon that really turned into short gig for ourselves, Matt accompanied by Steve and then a little 'Jam' session with Steve, Sam and Robbie. They did an unrehearsed version of 'Hang Man' by Zep
