We found a nice welcoming mixed session at The Flowers on the Todmorden road, on Friday and a great Irish music session at The Crown on Saturday

The Nutters were great. I noticed that it's less of a 'folky' focus than when I last went in the &0s and back to a local celebration .

Bacup has been through tough times economically y but is undergoing some funded regeneration so 'heritage'and tourism will be on the agenda I expect.. The next Hebden Bridge?
