Beverley Folk Festival Sessions
A fantastic night for some members of the Hessle Ceilidh Band and friends playing in sessions at the Sun and Tiger – The session at the Tiger was really good fun with plenty of music being played until the wee hours – a special hello goes out to Jennie Beastie on fiddle, Amanda Lowe on hammer dulcimer, Helen on hammer dulcimer (two dulcimers together they sound awesome), Quentin on Cahon, Gordon on double Bass, Helen on violin and double bass Mike and Val from Cottingham and the inimitable Wainwright sisters Heather and Hannah the session at the Sun was full on and funky!
We went to Beverley races
We played for a silver wedding anniversary at Beverley Race Course last night – the acoustics in the function room were fantastic as was the food – a big ‘hats off’ to the pecan fried sausages – delicious – Plenty of enthusiastic dancers and a great time was had by all – the Bavarian Hand clapping dance went down a storm as did strip the willow – On behalf of the band I’d like to wish Iain and Sue a very Happy Silver Wedding Anniversary.
Wedding Party Near Aldbrough
We had a fantastic night playing for dancing in a Marquee, we were joined by the inimitable Ruby who plays a mean shaky egg in time with a variety of jigs, reels and polkas no mean feat for a toddler – she was in time, smiling and played her shaky egg with passion throughout the set.
Later on she was joined by her elder cousins who sang a variety of songs through the PA.
The evening was rounded off by a series of tunes played solo on the bagpipes by Hull City Pipe Band Major Liz Wainwright.
