Session in the back bar Black Lion, Thursday 2nd September, a come-all-ye-and-just-do-it sort of thing kicking off at about 7.30. Pub is near the Plaistow Tube station, on the District Line. Come out of the station, turn right down the hill and keep going straight down the main road past 2 sets of traffic lights. The pub is on the left hand side of the road, almost opposite the Post Office sorting centre (big, nasty, 1950's concrete block) with a pedestrian crossing right outside it. There's parking space and several buses go past it. The pub itself is one of the oldest buildings in the area, painted white, with black trim. PM me for a phone number if you are worried about getting lost.

For those who've been to one of my sessions before - please note, this one is NOT in our usual Stables bar, but in the back bar of the main pub, door is round the side near the archway (you can also get in through the arch, keep going round to the right, first door up some steps). I'm afraid that it was built before wheelchairs were invented but if anyone needs assistance, I'm sure we can find a way!

I'm hoping there'll be a few more musicians there as it's the usual night for a session elsewhere in the area (but in a place that is an arse to get to by train). Manitas is trying to persuade them to come down to the Black Lion instead so we should have some Irish stuff to compensate for not getting Max over to the Emerald Isle.
