Ballad Club/Session in Sheffield
Burton St. Project, Burton Street.
Monthly 3rd Wednesday
Next meeting 8.00pm 17th February 2010
Real Ale Bar
Good public transport and parking
Format is part singaround and part discussion with emphasis firmly on the singing.
Ballads and broadsides providing they have the essential plot, story with characters who are named and having a clear development. (Would it make a film script?) This is not a folksong/singer songwriter cub. (Unless you can write solidly in the tradition and manage to pull a fast one that we fail to notice – there may be awards for this!)
Unaccompanied and accompanied.
Paul & Liz will referee.
