Keepers Of The Tunes: English Folk at the Lord Hood (DOCUMENTARY)

Keepers Of The Tunes is a short documentary taking a look at London's only weekly english folk session, which was then taking place every Tuesday night at the Lord Hood, a traditional south east London pub. During the video, session regulars discuss their love for the music and why the session is so important.
As of January 2023, the session has now moved to The River Ale House (131 Woolwich Road, Greenwich, SE10 0RJ. We still play every Tuesday night, starting at 8.30pm - see you there!

And yet, like virtually every English pub, even though there is wonderful live music being played, the TV is still on!

For anyone in Lincolnshire UK, a Folk night just like this happens on Monday nights at the Three Horseshoes in Scotton.

Well done Billy. That's a really well-made piece of work.

Well, if I'm ever in London on a Tuesday night, I know where I'm off too. Looks good and friendly - much like ours back home.

[@SamBraceMusic]

Awesome stuff. Well done Billy! :) Too rye ayyyyye!

[@Novascorian]

Looks like a wonderful place. Can't wait to visit next time I'm nearby on a Tuesday. It's always a great treat to hear English tunes instead of the usual so-called "Celtic" stuff. I'm a bit floored that it is the only English session in London though. Warm thanks and best wishes from Nova Scotia to Billy Dudley and his Dad's mates.

I went a few years ago and keep meaning to come back. Living in Portsmouth tho, so bit of a trek!

[@nsiepmann]

For anyone interested, looks like the session has since moved to the Star and Garter, Greenwich - might have to check it out myself...

[@davidmckenna5751]

Similar to the sessions here in East Anglia

[@gynae1]

Nice film. Is the session always this popular?! Tunes played rather fast for me.

[@SamBraceMusic]

We usually have around 15-20 folks down every Tuesday, you should come! I promise we won't play too fast. :)
