Shall be going to play for Wrigley Head.

I have heard that some people will be unable to arrive early because the Lancashire schools will not be having the day off for the Royal wedding.

How far in advance will we know the weather forecast?

Hang on we are stretching this bottle of port a bit far-I elect we draw lots and the shortest straw buys some mixers -brandy will do!

Of course Colyn Dear, strange mixture, but worth a try!

Linda, was it just the one bottle? Brandy DOES work though *grin*

I'll start saving cheese, should be ready to walk out the door by the time Upton comes around.....

I shall be organising dancing up the sun on top of a mound with a great view to the east on May Day morning for any sides or individuals who want to take part. Anyone interested? We had 80 dancers & musicians last year - lets double it this time!

Music sessions have been a strange beast at Upton in recent years. Sometimes they happen, sometimes not. Several times in recent years I've gone looking for one and met the odd musician on the street in the same boat. Other times you can chance upon one going great guns.

I would have thought the Muggery has got to be the best bet for a session player, us lot from Newport will be there and a few country members.

I'd second the Muggery as one of the best sesh pubs.

There's some along the river as well, but they get very crowded.

Definitely the Muggery but there were some sess's in the pavillion last year.

So how was it for you?

There did seem a dire scarcity of session venues this time poss because the Upton authorities stage a simultaneous beer festival so many places are heaving with drunks
