From: Bluegrassman Have you not looked in at the Woolpack, the best pub in Chelmsford, it hosts an open mic/session on the last Sunday each month. We enjoyed it there in November on a recent visit from "up north". Good beer and a friendly venue. |

The Blackmore club meets in Writtle 1st Thursday of the month. It is a very well attended, friendly, welcoming club. Got shloads of talent. I love it. In Margaretting at the Red Lion there is a free sing/play around session every 2nd Thursday. Very well attended. Amazing talent. In Billericay at the Rising Sun there is a pay (tiny amount at the door) floor spot session in the function room out back every last Thursday of the month. Some of the same people attend Blackmore and Margaretting. Only been once so far, but plan to return. I did not know about the Woolpack... Must check this out. |

From: GUEST,PeterC www.essexfolk.org.uk The club and session listing was last updated on 13 August and they hadn't registered Walthamstow's move at the beginning of the year so I wouldn't travel anywhere without phoning the organiser first. |
