As far as I'm aware this Friday's session (9th January) will have no official theme, but that needn't prevent you from bringing one of your own or settling into something as things develop if you want to. We will be missing some regulars so your attendance is eagerly anticipated whether you are one of our regular crowd, a lapsed dragon, or totally new to our lair.
Colin was otherwise engaged last week, so Simon sat in as MC and started the year with Dave Goulder's The January man.
Denny gave us An Orkney New Year's carol (roud 4584) and Paul sang the Stevens family waysail (* roud 209), also known as the Bisley Waysail for having been collected in Bisley, Gloucestershire.
Sue's first song was Upside down (Paloma Faith, Andrew Nicholas Love, Jos Hartvig Jorgensen, Belle Sara Humble) and Bob followed that with J J Cale's Call me the breeze which completed the first rotation.
I only noted three further songs that were new to the Dragon database:
- Denny - Yorkshire wassailing song (* roud 209) - the closes version of a wassail I could find to that which Denny sang
- Simon - Now make you merry, gentlemen (# A "reconstructed" pagan version of God rest ye merry gentlemen from "The Pagan Carols Restored, Volume 1" by Norman Iles)
- Sue - Octopus's garden (Richard Starkey - Ringo Starr)
Now listen to a selection of songs sung during this session.
(Number of people present - 5 of whom 5 performed)
In the above report songs new to the Dragon database (though no always new to the club) are marked with an asterisk (*) and any songs not included in the "a selection" playlist are marked with a hash (#).
