Seasonal Singaround

Rattlebag at Lewes Folk Club
We had a great evening at Lewes Folk Club last night. Meg, back from France, joined in remembering all the words which is pretty impressive considering she's not sung with us for over a year and she was on the wine.
We thought we'd have a quick run through before the folk club to check Meg still knew the words. We found a quiet dark corner of the car park at Lewes station, and apart from a few rabbits (!) we were alone. Singing with our usual gusto, we launched into the second verse as the commuter train from London arrived, deposited some bewildered looking office workers who disembarked to the chorus of Collier Lads. The rabbits ran away.

October Singaround

Birthday!!
Bit late, this one.....
Tonight - that's the 15th of September - is Rattlebag's sixth (how did that happen?!) birthday singaround. Lots of fun and games and all starting at the Stag, All Saints Street, Hastings from half past eight. We were so excited we forgot to blog about it. However, as you can see, our new promotional airship has been spreading the celebratory word.

July Singaround

Another rattling Good Sing (and hopefully A Rattling Good Harmony Workshop too)
Time flies and here we are again. This month's singaround is on Thursday, the 16th of June, at the usual venue: The back bar of The Stag in All Saints Street, Hastings.
This time, we're going to begin with a workshop. It's called "Learn A Song With Harmonies" for reasons that we hope are obvious. It'll begin at 8-30 and the proper singaround will then kick off at 9-00 as usual. So, if you'd like to take part in the workshop, please make sure you arrive before half eight in order for us to start things off on time and not run into singaround time. Cheers!
Also.... a technical thing: Because one or two of us have recently acquired clever phones that can do the internet among other things, we've become a bit more aware of the fact that there might be people out there who have similarly clever phones and might even want to use them to read this very Blog. With this in mind, we've optimised the content so that it looks good on a mobile as well as your home computer..

Late News - Singaround Time Again!

New gadget
Take a look over to the right. There's a new box on the blog. No, the right.... Just above the photo. That's it. Where it says, "Follow by Email". Apparently, if you put your email address in that box, you will be immediately notified by a sweaty, wild eyed messenger every time the Blog gets updated. Or so we're told. It's almost too thrilling to comprehend, isn't it?

Hare Tonic
The next Rattling Good Sing will be on Thursday the 17th of March at our usual venue, The Stag, All Saints Street, Hastings at our newish start time of half past eight.
Yes it is St. Patrick's night so why not bring an Irish song or two?
We're also going to do a bit of fund-raising and having a collection for the legendary Norma Waterson who has recently been seriously ill.
We will also be practising our songs and giving out lyric sheets for March Hare Day on Sunday the 20th. This is a fun afternoon of guising and dressing up which will end in another Stag based song session. Go here to learn more....

There will be the usual evening of fun and frivolity that happens when the Good Squeeze guys get together along with some songs this time as Ratttlebag will be joining Goose, Chris, Trooper and Alan for the fist time in ages.
This one is particularly special as Jacqui and Sian are both celebrating birthdays and so is our friend Big Jon. Join us at the North Star Inn, Clarence Road, Bohemia on Saturday 12th February at about 20:30.
