Sessions
Here at BFF we love sessions; where people gather together and share their tunes and songs. Often this will happen naturally but sometimes it helps if someone can facilitate the process. So we have some organised sessions in the programme with session leaders and venues booked out. As with all sessions please be mindful of others as a session is a collaborative beast which feeds on a shared knowledge and understanding and is not a performance space.
Bob and Paul - The Flying Sessioneers will be often be found in The Green Dragon where they will welcome anyone inclined towards English tunes and songs. They are also leading the Slow Session in St Mary’s Church on Sunday morning from 10.00 - 11.00am.
