New Streetband folk music tune downloads of Cork and Bottle pub band rehearsals, Barnstaple High Street, Devon for 3rd June 2010

The new Streetband had another successful rehearsal session last night at the Cork and Bottle pub in Barnstaple High Street, North Devon and recordings of rehearsed traditional folk music tunes are now available for download to help with practicing the tunes at home.

We are still looking for new band members to join our folk music street band and, if you think you could add to our sound and would like to play traditional folk tunes in a relaxed and informal practice session with a view to playing in the streets of Devon for charity at a later date, you would be welcome to join us.

As you can see from the picture of Tim, our didgeridoo player, we welcome all acoustic instruments that add to our traditional folk music session sound and Tim with his wild outlandish whoops certainly does :-)

Barnstaple Streetband urgently seeks a new pub session band practice venue Thursday evenings in North Devon

In a shock announcement by the Reform Inn, Pilton, Barnstaple, the recently reconstituted new Streetband discovered with sadness that the Reform Inn's skittle alley will no longer be available for its pub session band practice on Thursday evenings for the next three months.

Well known locally for its outstanding efforts to raise money playing at street gigs for the North Devon Children's Hospice, the Streetband is now urgently looking for a pub session venue locally in the Barnstaple area to meet up and practice its repertoire of rocking traditional tunes from around the world.

So, if there is a pub or other meeting place, preferably where up to twenty band members can buy a drink while we play, and which would like to provide a practice venue for the Streetband on Thursday evenings, we would certainly like to hear from you. Just leave a message in the comments section below and we will get back to you.
