Can anyone give us some pointers to the other (tunes) session leaders. E.g. what kind of tunes those 'in the know' will go along expecting.How they run the sessions.
We started going to Whitby again after a long gap because of a thread here about George Garside's steady pace sessions.
So I can kick off

George Garside
(Tues 298,Wed 397,Thur 498 1-3 Middle earth)- asks for names of tunes, if they are generally know they are played (led by the person who suggested them, or George if nec.) Steady pace. A lot of the tunes tend to be from David Olivers books

Mat Cheadle and friends (1 - 2 Spa)
'Not Quite Ready for a Session' Again, well know tunes and played slowly. Hints given to help us all start on the right note, in the right key. More David Oliver tunes and he is often there plugging his books and keeping us right, along with May's loud sax.

Spare Parts (Wed 422)
A lot of concertinas at their sessions. They play a lot of Southern tunes (might sell you the Lewes Tunebooks if you ask) - but make they sure everyone has a chance to play either whatever they want, a 'party piece' or an 'all join in' sort of tune.
