Singers, players and listeners are all equally welcome.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our sessions are held in the Shottstown Miners’ Club ,<\/a><\/strong> at 8-10pm.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our regular Tuesday “Singers Nights” probably includes more singing than does a typical session in an Edinburgh pub – maybe 50:50 songs vs tunes.\u00a0 However, it’s never a “songs vs tunes” contest.\u00a0 Our regular sessioneers make sure that the evening is relaxed but not anarchic and it’s certainly not “survival of the loudest”.\u00a0 You’re likely to hear some playing and singing of a very high standard and also some new friends trying out their talents, often hesitantly. You’ll also hear the best of us make mistakes and forget words \u2026 it all goes to prove that the show is live!\u00a0 You’ll hear big\u00a0 ballads, Beatles songs, Dougie Maclean songs, Niel Gow tunes, self-penned songs and tunes, Johnny Cash songs, Richard Thompson songs, Cole Porter \u2026 in fact the list of what you won’t<\/strong> hear is probably shorter.\u00a0 If it can be sung and played in a small pub room, with passion, enjoyment and commitment, we’ll love it! Don’t be nervous – and please ring Alan on 07803 331592 if you are \u2026 he’ll persuade you to come along, Come and join us any Tuesday at 8.00 to sing, play, join in or just listen \u2026 only \u00a33 to cover the costs of the venue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
