Thread Name: Singing Sessions in South of England
Subject: RE: Singing Sessions in South of England
Wow!

Using your help we've compiled a list of more than 100 folk clubs we could possibly get to in the eleven nights we'll have available. They're spread over sixteen counties so a lot depends on where our wanderings take us. It took a while because we are not that familiar with British geography and we spent a lot of time looking for places in the road atlas. We plan to re-check these sites just before we leave in about two months to see if there are any updates.

In the meantime, we have some questions:

1. Are the clubs likely to be happening on the May bank holiday weekend?

2. Are we likely to run into a lot of traffic and have difficulty with accomodations during that weekend? Especially if we're in Cornwall or Devon?

3. What about Padstow? Will we have trouble with accomodations around May 1 due to the festival? We'll likely be there since we have some business to take care of in Newquay the day before.

4. Banjoman: is that the Rising Sun Pub on Chapel Hill in Basingstoke?
