Sheffield Sessions?

My wife and I are going to be in the Sheffield area around the 5th/6th (sat/sun) of October and were wondering about any sessions that might be going on . We play fiddle and box to a reasonable standard and are usually fairly well behaved!

First Sunday pm at Fernandes Tap in Wakefield! from 1.30pm if you get stuck

Sheffield has a number of folkie pubs, Sat night probably in Fagan's for a safe bet!

Kelham Island pub and Hillsborough Hotel

Many thanks for the responses. We'll hopefully get along to the Kelham Island Tavern as at the very least my wife (used to live in Sheffield} says the beer is excellent.

A singer I met this afternoon (at Tod FF) was enthusing about a Saturday afternoon song session at Fagan's in Sheffield. I've googled like mad, but can't find any details of this on the Interweb - Fagan's seems to have sessions of one sort or another five nights a week, but no reference to anything on a Saturday afternoon.

Can anyone supply more details? Or have I broken the first rule of Fagan's Saturday afternoon session?

Fagan's hosts a lot of sessions (every night except Thurs and Sunday). I've not heard of one on a Sat afternoon - but that's not to say there isn't.

Potential contacts:
Fagan's on twitter: @faganspub
The Monday night session at Fagan's has a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fagans-Monday-Session/495013500536357

Shaun Hutch runs the Fagan's Saturday afternoon session, not every week I will check the frequency

So, The Fates on twitter (@fates_uk) say that it is "every 2nd Saturday, 2pm to 6pm. there's one this Sat. Mostly songs and some tunes"

Great stuff - ta! I don't know how often I'll be able to get over from Manchester, but I'll keep it mind.

So, FatesUK are the ones who know.
Here's a link to their Twitter conversation

I'm guessing that as "this Saturday" =23rd April, the "every 2nd Saturday" might be interpreted as "alternating".
Daresay some mudcatter will clarify if they plan to go.

I did ask Shaun Hutch on fb who gave the thumbs up but failed to clarify frequency I would certainly agree that this Saturday pm will be the Fagan's session in Sheffield

Fagan's has music sessions all week at night with different accents and "runners" of said sessions ~ Irish theme but English too

Thanks all. Evening sessions in Sheffield are a bit difficult, but a weekend afternoon could be doable - just as long as I didn't end up stuck on a rail replacement bus, as I was last weekend coming back from Todmorden.
