Today was the sing-around’s last session at The Plough Inn, for the time being at least. Sadly the pub is shutting its doors as the present proprietors move on and the future of the location is unclear. They have had repair issues which they haven’t found the brewery that owns it making any moves to deal with so we don’t know if it will return as a pub or if there will be an attempt to put housing on the site. The sing-around will continue but temporarily homed in the hall at Thorpe Acre Church (all of the remaining other local pubs have unsuitable, open-plan layouts).

I took along my double bass and contributed two 16 bar blues – Way Down in the Hole (which I’ve done several times before) and Needed Time (which might be the first time I’ve led it anywhere).
