I will be moving jobs and taking up residence in the Pontypridd area of South Wales and I would appreciate any information anyone can give me about folk clubs in the area. Venue, times and style. EG Singarounds, Sessions or major guests. Thanks in advance

Geoff

Geoff -- I am in NYC but get to the UK at least twice each year -- not sure where you will be, but there's a club in LLantrissant on Wednesday nights. Also don't know how far afield you want to go. when i'm over we usually travel from Port Talbot (where I tend to stay with friends) to a small club in Pottern (OK, so I may not be certain of spelling in some cases) to a club in Bristol and almost always make the long haul on a Friday night to Swindon -- in fact, 18 January, 2002 i am booked for the 42nd anniversary show of Swindon. But anyway -- I can put you in touch with friends in Port Talbot if you like. Let me know.

Joy That would be really useful. I will be moving into the Porth area which is not far from Port Talbot. I will be there from 7th May during the week and permanantly as soon as we sell our current house. So any local information your friends can provide on folk activities during the week would be great.
