What a lovely session tonight - although we were missing a few regulars, we still had a lovely time. A lovely mix of instruments - bass, two guitars, Irish bouzouki, melodeon, ukelele, harmonica, percussion, flute and viola plus people watching and joining in with the singing. Thank for the supper, Trevor and Susan and thanks to Ryan for looking after us. Well done to the Commercial pool team who only narrowly lost to the top of the league team - no disgrace there at all 👏👏
