WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE PUB AND WHERE IS IT? I'm sure there is call for a session-friendly pub in York, and you'll find dozy buggers like me will travel the 40 miles each way to support it at the start. There are plenty of players in that area, too. As far as singers vs instrumentalists goes, with any luck you can achieve a mixed session - my local one in the Six Bells in Barrow on Humber is a good example of just such a session - though some are just too far up themselves to play where someone might sing, and vice versa. So blow them, welcome the folkies, DON'T ALLOW A CLIQUE OF THE FOLK MAFIA TO TAKE IT OVER AND 'ORGANISE' IT (The kiss of death!) and set up a friendly, anarchic session where all are welcome. Good luck, I'll certainly be there sometimes, and I know others who will as well.
