March Session

Fabulous session this afternoon. Attending were Sharon on fiddle, Jaya on whistle and bodhran, Lou on bodhran, Allan on mandolin and octave mandolin, Leslie, Fred on bodhran, concertina, whistle and piano, Scott on whistle and mandolin, Pete on banjo and dobro, Phyllis on flute and Suzanne on bodhran and feet.

Repast was excellent, as usual, including smoked salmon, cheese and fruit, crackers and chocolate. And the black forest cake was enjoyed by all, we had to play for two hours after eating a piece just to work off the sugar rush!
