Thread Name: Lampeter folk scene? (Wales)
Subject: RE: Lampeter folk scene?
Not sure what's happening in the town itself. Use to be live music nights (not sessions) in Cwmann, and there's live music in the Cardigan area as well; the Carreg Las Border Morris people would be worth looking up. Aberystwyth is about 25 minutes car journed, and there are sessions there. Devil's Bridge is about as far and there's a montly session there (last I heard).

Lynne Denman of the group Ffynnon lives in Llanybydder and has had the occasional House Concert in her home. She might be worth contacting.

Take a look at the trac site for a variety o relevant things.

Unfortunately the existence of local eisteddfodau do nothing to encourage sessions or anything apart from competitive singing.
