Tonight it's an open mic night at the Fred's 'ead (King Alfred's Head, Wantage) so I'm going along to have a shufftie and see what it's all about. Not been to one before.
Wednesday is knuckle smash and skipping practice with the Icknield Way Morris Men. One or two things seemed to come together last week so I must be making progress. It's bloody hard work though. Very good as a CV (cardio-vascular) workout. It makes the calves hurt a bit until you're used to it too. I'm also borrowing the sides spare melodeon which was bequeathed to the club. I'm going to see if I get on with it like I have the whistle. I quite like the idea of being able to play as well as dance with the side (but not at the same time, obviously)
Friday night is the monthly session night down at the Abby Arms (Abingdon Arms, Wantage). Usually a fantastic night of music and beer. I'll be taking my new whistle (A Colin Goldie high D - bloody expensive but excellent sound and lovely to play) that I got for Christmas and maybe my guitar, although I'm very out of practice now.
Saturday is another open mic night, this time at The Volly (The Volunteer, Grove - opposite Williams F1). I didn't know they even did open mic nights until earlier today but I know a couple who will be playing there so I thought I'd pop along and have a listen.
