I find it strange that some pubs seem to look on sessions as a hindrance while others look on them as an asset.
The landlord of the Grove at Walcot asked us to start a session there. We are always made very welcome - they even feed us - there's usually more food than we can eat.
The session is well attended and regulars at the pub look forward to it. People who would never otherwise listen to folk music have a great time.
In light of discussion in other threads, I should make it clear it's a mixed session, tunes and songs fairly evenly balanced.
...and by the way - it's tomorrow night!
