Based on a traditional English pub sing -- emphasizing songs with choruses that are easy to learn and fun to sing -- but with a bit of an American flavor. This session is open to any singer who wants to join in. We love the fine old drinking songs and know plenty of sea chanteys and chorus songs from the British Isles and New England, but anything goes as long as it's fun and lets people join in. Bring a song to share, or just join in on the choruses!
We love pub singing for its spontaneity, its rich harmonies, its sweep-you-along sense of communal participation, and above all its energetic joy.
We'll be in the café -- Park at the rear, but enter the building by the front door, and take the first door on the left.
Show up early to grab some food. The cafe serves sandwiches, pizza, beer, and wine, and various other things.
