Welcome back S&R - Good Weekend??

With reference to the above clubs sessions... I think the Victoria Sessions have moved to the Steamer and is now an open mic with PA and lights on the stage (haven't had a chance to have a look yet though - ask Eileen.)

I only mentioned the Sessions - but here are a more local events where beginners are welcome, most use the come to the front with or without PA system set-up and sing a couple of songs.. I would think most beginners would find this more intimidating than a sing-around or a session -

Sunday - The Steamer (open mic)- Fleetwood, from 8.30pm

Monday - Hole in One (open Mic)Clarence - Lytham St.Annes from 9.00pm

Tuesday - Stock & Bonds Social Club(open mic with and without mic!)- St Annes from 9.00pm

Wednesday - Clarence (Folk Club - Mainly Artists)- Preston New Rd Blackpool from 8.30pm

Thursday - Fleetwood Folk Club (mainly sing-around) - The Steamer (see above) from 8.30pm

sorry to drift off topic again!

good luck (dump the school and do it yourself - I'm sure you could do a good job of it and cheaper for the newcomers)
