I lived in Shrewsbury for most of my life but only discovered folk music when I moved to Beverley. I'll be around for 10 days or so over Christmas and I'd love to play some fiddle and meet some Shropshire musicians/singers. I've done some research and come up with the following venues: Charlton Arms, Ludlow, 3rd Fri of the mth. Red Lion, Market Drayton, Thurs Buffalo/White Horse Clun, (when?) Miners Arms, Priest Weston, 1st Wed (discovered this at Easter - wow!) 6 Bells Bishop's Castle (When? Loggerheads, Shrewsbury (when?) Globe, Coleham (when?) Swan, Frankwell (when?) Coalbrookdale Inn, Ironbridge, 3rd Sun of mth. I'd be really grateful if those of you in the know could fill in the blanks, and let me know if there is still music at these places. Details of new sessions and christmas one-offs would be good too! Best wishes, Richard.
