Hi everyone

At the next session we will be playing through a mostly 50s/60s set with lots of sing-a-long songs; the following day we will play some of those tunes at the

Burwood Grange Care Home in Walton on Thames (Seven Hills Road, Walton-on-Thames KT12 4DD)

We will be playing at 2 30pm, arriving at 2pm. It will probably be 30 – 45 mins. If you want to sit down there are chairs there, if you can stand then great.

Please note if you can’t get to the Tuesday session you can still come and play at the concert, and if you can’t make the concert you can still come to the session as normal.

If you are hoping to make the concert please let me know – I am going to write to the organiser on Monday to let her know how many of us roughly are turning up.

Here is the set.

Blue Suede Shoes – Dedicated Follower Of Fashion – Delilah – 500 miles – See You Later Alligator – SOS – Teenager In Love – That’ll Be The Day – These Boots Are Made For Walking – This Train Is Bound For Glory (D) – Travelin’ Light – Urban Spaceman – When I’m 64 – Wild Rover – Your Cheatin’ Heart – You’re The One That I Want – Bring Me Sunshine

This is also a good set for any potential new people who are looking to come along to the sessions – lots of 3 or 4 chord songs!

Hi all

The set for next Tuesday is as follows –

Will The Circle Be Unbroken is a Bluegrassy Gospel tune, there are loads of versions online if you want to have a listen to it before hand. It is very easy fun sing-a-long and I show you all how it goes on Tuesday.

I will bring spare paper copies of everything so don’t feel like you need to print it all out unless you want to. All the above songs can be found in the ‘Songbook ‘ menu above.

New members are always welcome! If you know a few chords then bring your instrument, a stand if you have one and come and join in. There is more info in the ‘Session’ Info section on the Homepage, or get in touch if you have any questions (see ‘Contact’ above).

Hi everyone

There was a record breaking turnout at the last session, thanks everyone!

PS – watch out on the you tube link – it may try to play you a different song or an ad first. You can usually ‘skip’ through this after a few seconds…..

I’ve linked to a version of Erie Canal by Bruce Springsteen, if you want to play along with him put a capo on fret 1. I’ve also linked to Little Deuce Coup by the Beach Boys because it comes up in the medley and no one seems to know it!

Great to see all the new members coming along recently. The more the merrier! If you are thinking of coming there is info in the links above or you can email/phone me if you have questions.

Hi everyone

We’ve received another request to play for the Epsom WI. They really enjoyed the Christmas set and would like us to come back and play for their birthday meeting on Wednesday 2nd September at 2.30. Like last time, they have offered to pay us £150 so it would be nice to do because we could then donate it on. I appreciate it’s a long way off but if you can look at your calenders and let me know if it is possible/probable then I can let them know either way….

Here is the set for next time with a new track –

*Keep on Running* – All I have to do is Dream – And Then I Kissed Her – Brown Eyed Girl – Caroline – Come Up and See Me (Make me Smile) – Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Crippled Inside – Da Doo Ron Ron – Dancing In the Street – Don’t Stop – Folsom Prison Blues/Pinball Wizard – Friday I’m in Love – Ghost Riders in the Sky – Bring Me Sunshine
