We have a session of Appalachian Old Time music which happens most fridays in the Royal, Cundy Street, Walkley, Sheffield from about 8.30 often till around midnight. We mostly play old fiddle tunes, with a couple of excellent fiddlers, banjo, guitar, mandolin, bass. We occasionally sing some songs. Many of the tunes originally came from the UK and picked up an American accent, and swing beautifully.
The standard is quite high, but anyone is welcome to come and absorb an English version of this superb tradition, pick up the tunes and join in. There's always room for more players/singers.
We ring each other friday evening, because we all travel to get there.
If you fancy a go, PM me for my phone number, then you can ring me up between 6.30 and 8pm to make sure it's on.
Cheers
Ray
