I have said it many times, but one of the best things I ever did was to start a pub music session that is known as the Arlesey Jammers. Out of that have come several bands and at least one music career. We have a tradition of doing an open mic at The Angel's Share in Hitchin and that happened on Sunday.
I did a couple of songs on ukulele that included the most popular one I have written and a certain classic. I took my drums along too. I performed with @purplesinger and then with @daniellemurrary and @renaissancegeek (Bob). Danielle was unable to play her clarinet, but she did a great job on the violin. Bob recorded the video on his little Zoom gadget that gets great quality.
I accompanied some other people and we had a mass jam at the end. We also had a performance from @steve.and.anke so there were plenty of Hivers there.
I took this as an opportunity to practice my video editing skills using Kdenlive. I now know a bit more about scene transitions and titles. It is a very powerful application and it is free.I use it on Ubuntu Linux, but it is available for Windows and Mac.
Merry Christmas!

It was a fun night...and not the coldest one we've ever played at.
It was also great having you drumming along to some of my set. Thanks Steve! 😊
It is always a pleasure to play with you.
She couldn't play her clarinet? 😮
Why was that?
It was a lovely evening!
She had some dental work, so it wasn't going to be possible. It was fun with a good crowd.

BEER.Amazing performance, I actually quoted these song lyrics when in my local newly opened Ikea.
Looks like a cool setup it is great to see local independent pubs do things like this.
Depending on pub size this venue could host a future Hive meetup 😀
I do feel I've written some good songs, but people love that one.
The bar owner has shown an interest in joining Hive, but we've not set him up yet.

BEER.This is so cool. The drumming session sounds a little like a Reggae rhythm, like Celtic Reggae fusion. Amazing..
I've not really worked on reggae rhythms, but 4/4 beats are common across lots of music. I just have to figure out what will fit the music.
Nice job! It looks like it was a really fun time for all the Hive folks involved!
It's just a nice way to spend time together. Some talented people there. I was staying off the alcohol as I was driving, but could still enjoy it.
Looks fun, hope you having a great Christmas parties this time of year.
Cheers. You too!
Hey, you’ve got the grubs! 👍
