Tonight I’m heading to Quorn, a village south of Loughborough, for Folk in Quorn, a folk music session at The Blacksmiths Arms pub. I’d been pondering what instrument to take but, after this afternoon’s practise time, I think I’m going to go for tenor ukulele.

Those lunchtime uke club sessions worked out well for giving me chords under my fingers and a good repertoire of suitable, singable songs.
