Are there any singarounds in the Oxford/Banbury/Chipping Norton area during the week where we would be welcome to listen/play? Prefer a singaround environment rather than somewhere with floorspots or a guest on. In the absence of that can anyone recommend a folk club where something might be on? |

Regular guests followed by singaround. Info from Shire Folk, I can vouch for Sunday, Half Moon, Wednesday, The Plough, Friday, Killingworth Castle. Things can happen any night at the Half Moon as a lot of folk performers live or hang around the place, but don't go there expecting something to happen, Sunday is safe, Wednesday is fairly certain. |

11 Aug 04 - 11:50 AM (#1244836) Subject: RE: Singarounds in Oxfordshire - w/c Aug 22 From: Mr Red You could always peruse the Sessions, SAR bar music page of cresby.com and look for Adderbury, Balscote (check with pub), Bakers Arms Broad Campden (oh that is once a month and 22 is at least the third week), Chipping Norton, Thrupp (Granny West confirmed) and the Old Bletchingdon SAR has moved to Enslow - the organiser confirmed at Warwick recently (where Granny West was selling her wines), - but ring any contact numbers just in case. There is always the box session at Tredington / Shipston Tell me what you find is up to date or even gone. |

Are you in Oxfordshire? Do you just dance or do you call? The ceilidh band I play for uses about four callers, but the more the merrier, depending on the availabilty of the others and their suitability for the gig. |

I haven't called but there are a goodly number of dances described on my site. If you have any ceilidhs that the public have access to let me know the details - I can list them on my dance diary page. |
