I wonder if anyone can help.

Some friends of mine are coming over from america to visit the uk this summer and will be in central Bristol for three nights from Friday 21st June - I was wondering if there are any singarounds or folk clubs on over that weekend.

Also any other suggestions about where it might be good to go and eat etc, would be gratefully recieved (I suppose it's obvious, I live in the UK, but I don't know Bristol at all)

Thanks in advance

Cathy

Have a look at Mr Red's web site - he lists clubs and sessions in that part of the world.

Have a look at Bristol Pub Sessions, that one covers the City of Bristol area specifically. I travel to Bristol quite a bit and find it a useful resource.

Thanks very much everyone -

Mr Red. That looks good - is it taxi distance from the city centre? and is it performers? singaround etc. etc... (questions questions...) - as I write, I've just realised SAR probably means 'singaround' which is just up my street - goody!

Thanks - so far this is looking like a definite probable,

Cathy

Taxi is easiest because directions are difficult. I would say 5 miles from centre maximum, in direction of Pucklechurch (east) alongside new bypass by not on it! Singaround with occ mini feature, don't drink the Thatchers cider if it is orange - go for Taunton! I link to sessions there but the one above looks new to me
Thanks Pasty (or should that be pastie?) will investigate & maybe link to.

I'll agree with that, Mr Red! I'll only touch Thatchers' if it's a reassuring tinge of greenish yellow!
I've been maintaining the Bristol sessions site for about 18 months now, it's not easy having to keep going to sessions to make sure they're happening!
Thanks to pasty for the input.
I'll put a link to your site in there, Mr Red - you have more links to other sites, and cover quite a bit of the area surrounding my "catchment". If that's OK with you, of course...!

Thanks so much for the help everyone. I think probably the Dragon on Friday night is the best bet. It's just an option at the moment though so I wouldn't want anyone to make any special arrangements to be there.

Perhaps I'll get in touch nearer the time if I know anything more definite?

Thanks again,

Cathy
