Bath Session December 2018, with visitors from Boldwood, AndroSisters, Dromadaire, and Chippenham pipe trio, plus Jake leading these tunes. Talent!!!
Sansonette danced as an Andro…. and as Scottish: at the Bristol Session
We play and dance to traditional or new French and Breton tunes: in couples, or in lines without partners. In Bath we play in the bar, and in Bristol we have an upstairs room to ourselves, with plenty of room for dancing. So Bristol is best for dancers. We usually have bagpipes , hurdy-gurdy; accordions, melodeons, and concertina; fiddles and whistles.

This session is around 30 years old, originally started in Bristol by Andy Letcher. For our 2013 dancing in the Bristol streets see videos here and see Mike Finn’s fine photos here
