Try Mr Red's Mid West, which deals with just the area you are interested in. There will be hundreds of SARs and sessions to choose from, so you may also wish to get personal info from Mudcatters and others who live in that area. Numerous contacts are listed on the website.

From my experience the Bideford Folk Club (in North Devon), which meets every Thursday, is very friendly. But I notice that the only Thursday you will be on your tour is 1 May, which will of course mean that you will be in Padstow for the hobby horse festival - not to be missed! There will be plenty of singing well into the night!

Also, I shall be at Upton-upon-Severn Folk Festival (2 to 5 May), singing with the Shellback Chorus - the craic will be EXCELLENT! You could spend the whole weekend in the White Lion in the singaround if you chose, and not even have to buy a festival ticket!
