Hello, I haven't been very vocal on the 'cat recently as my email access has been sporadic to say the least but hopefully I will be around a bit more. The real reason for this ramble (and yes I'm rambling alot!) is that i will shortly (end of this week) be moving to Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire and was wondering who else was in the area. I know some peeps in the area as my other half (who I'm moving in with) grew up in the area so has loads of mates there but I was wondering if anyone here was form there. I'll hopefully be attending some folk sessions (got them in another thread) so see you there.

Charlie

Northmost tip of Herts. Border of Beds and Cambs.

I work in Stevenage and lodge locally Mon. to Thurs. A poor fiddle player and worse with computers. Can you direct me to that session link?

I'm so far out to the West I do most of my singing in Bucks (Berkhamsted and Chesham respectively).

Tudor Folk Club and a couple of singarounds detailed on my site

. But loads of good stuff around the area. You need to check out the Hitchin club if you like big names. Also see My Gurur Always Said's thread about Baldock.

I expect McGrath'll br along soon to tell you about his site which has loads of links in your (new) area. Welcome!

Breezy runs a club in St Albans that I keep meaning to visit but still haven't. PM him if he doesn't post, he may be away.
The Bell at Benington has a great session on (usually) the third Tuesday of each month.
We have a session every Monday at the White Horse in Hertford which can be very good, but this is holiday month. I wont be around until Sept.
Hope to see you sometime,
Keith.

efn Magazine links to all the clubs down the eastern half of Herts. Pick up a copy of Unicorn magazine at one(no web site) for sessions and the rest of the county.

Thanks for the info on sessions and all - I'd also just really like to know how many catters there are in the area. Maybe meet up with a few.

Thanks

Charlie

As Hamish presciently said, here I am, and here's a link to a page on my site which has a fair amount of stuff about local folk music happening on both sides of the Essex Herts line. (Not as well kept-up-to-date as it should be I'm afraid.)
