Since 6th April is Easter Monday and March has five Mondays in it we're moving this session back one week to 30th April. So there'll then be a three week break before the next session on 20th April.

At the session we'll reprise all the songs we've learnt so far. Perhaps we should try to sing from memory!!

Our current list is:

  • Billy Boy
  • Bound for the Rio Grande
  • Drunken Sailor
  • John Kanaka
  • Johnnie Come Down to Hilo
  • Lowlands Away
  • Santianna
  • Shenandoah
  • South Australia
  • The Wellerman
