Rattlebag will, of course, be hosting the latest in their ongoing and endless series of song sessions in the back room of The Stag, All Saints' Street, Hastings this month.
This is the last one before the Jack in The Green weekend and is oddly without a theme. Just come along and sing us a song. We'll see you around half eight. Here's a nice picture of Roger Delgado. Enjoy.

Radio Ratbags (Revised)

Several bits of news today and some dates to remember too. First up, Rattlebag will be doing a few songs at the irish music session at the Royal Oak at Pett Level on Wednesday March the 14th. Things kick off at eight o'clock so please come and listen.

The very next day Ratters will be hosting the usual monthly Singaround in the back room at The Stag in All Saints Street, Hastings. That's at half past eight on Thursday March 15th. This is quite close to St Patrick's day so if you feel moved to bring an Irish song or two to share, go right ahead. This is also the last singaround before Hastings traditional March Hare Day celebrations, so we might decide to practice a couple of the Hare songs too.


On Tuesday March 20th, Rattlebag will be appearing on the electric wireless. We will be singing a few songs on "Who Stole My Wireless: The Acoustic Sessions", a radio show hosted by local legend Ian Barnett. Linkage here....

The programme starts at eight o'clock in the evening and can be listened to on 87.7FM or, perhaps more realistically if you live anywhere else other than selected corners of Little Common and The Ridge, online at...

Lots of music and fun this month then, brought to you by Rattlebag, "conquering the universe, one pub at a time........"

Love & Monsters

Two updates for you today....

First up is the news that Rattlebag will singing alongside massed fiddles, melodeons and other sundry instruments at the monster February Rattlin' Good Squeeze session. More songs and tunes than you'll know what to do with. This is at The North Star in Clarence Road, Bohemia, Hastings on the 11th of February at around eight.

Following that - on Thursday February 17th - Rattlebag will be hosting their regular lively old Singaround in the back room at The Stag in All Saints Street, Hastings. This is a few days after Valentine's day so any songs of love and courtship that you'd care to bring along would be welcome. That's it for now. Thanks for reading.

First Singaround of 2012...

....is on Thursday the 19th of January at half past eight. Where? Why the world famous Stag Inn, of course, in Hastings' All Saints Street. It being sort of nearly almost Burns Night, you are invited to prepare a song with a Scottish feel. Or not. Whatever you like. Please come along and help us to start the new year as we mean to continue it: Singing with a drink in our hand.

A Happy New Year....

..........from Rattlebag. See you in 2012.

Be Merry All.......

Ratters will be out this very night in Hastings Old Town, serenading various diners and drinkers with carols, wassails and seasonal songs. Its all in the name of charity!
