See that, CS? It's your fault there isn't a good local session, just as it's my fault that the prevailing Folk Culture in these parts is such that we have to travel 20 miles to find the sort of inclusive conviviality that makes for a good night out. So - it's either put up or shut up basically, &, sadly, I've encountered a lot of that attitude in a lifetime of Folkin' too.

Thing is, The Snail (who is that masked mollusc?), a session is a landscape feature; it is integral to the cultural landscape of a particular region. Existing sessions & folk clubs are focus points for whatever sort of interest exists in your particular manor, and whilst a new sing/session might provide a much needed catalyst for disgruntled local traddies (what Les has done at The Beech is nothing short of miraculous in this respect), if you haven't got that sort of local market it doesn't stand a chance really.
