Lying fallow but not for long

There was no Dragon Folk Club session last week, but that doesn't mean we weren't active. Eight Dragon regulars, seven of whom sing, turned up to the Pucklechurch Open Mic (admittedly two of them are already regulars there too) and had a fine night thanks to Chris and the gang over at Pucklechurch Village Sports and Social Club.

This Friday we are very much back at home in the barn at The Bridge Inn where this week there will be a theme of "Bonfire Night / Guy Fawkes / fireworks / campfire songs". Since we weren't on home ground last week you may even want to adopt as a secondary theme "Halloween / Samhain".

You will find us this and almost every Friday from 8:15pm in the barn (just past the toilets) at The Bridge Inn, Bridge Road, Shortwood, Bristol (UK), BS16 9NG

There will always be FREE ENTRY, a warm welcome, excellent acoustics, and a reasonably priced bar. Anything goes as long as it’s acoustic: a song, a story, a tune, a poem, a joke, a monologue, whatever you can come up with, and if you don’t feel up to performing even in front of a small, friendly, crowd, then you are welcome to just listen, and maybe join in the odd chorus and some friendly banter.

While the welcome is warm we can't guarantee the same of the central heating, so at this time of year it is best to come well wrapped up and to be pleasantly surprised if you can remove a layer or two.

See you there soon for a fun evening!
