Sorry for not responding sooner - i've been away from the Mudcatfor a while.
Thanks for so many postive comments and suggestions. the session date and venue are not at all fixed - it just so happens that this particular pub has a quiet night on a sunday and the landlord loves our (Gone2theDogs) music and himself plays the didge.
But a city centre venue on a weeknight is just as likely.
We're mainly interestd in irish music - but, like the excellent six bells session, have no problem with allcomers. free and easy is how I like it.

Rockhen's point is well taken - and no problem with thread hijack - it's all grist to the mill.
I guess the answer is , like all sessions, it depends who turns up! I'd be more than happy to make it slower for beginners - hell, we could even have a slowr start (say 8pm till 9pm) for beginners, and would be happy to teach and practise new tunes in that part meself!

If anyone who's interestd on these lines would like to pm me, with preferred nights, an indiocation of their experience etc etc - I'l see what i can do!

Meanwhile, if you're at Beverley tomorroa (Sat) afternoon and see me , come say hello.
