Hi Fi ...... sorry no pun intended ..... honest

A fellow Milnsbridge resident, there are 3 sessions locally. Firstly the General Ludd folk club held weekely at The Wheel in Golcar, sing-a-round session every Friday with occasional guests. Alternate Wednesday at the Shoulder Of Mutton, Lockwood, free and easy songs tunes and poems and Monthly, first Thursday of the month at the Station Tavern on the railway station in Huddersfield. I don't think any of these venues will accept children though and all are smoking venues. Further afiedl as leadfingers suggested look up Tykes news for venues throughout Yorkshire and also Filofolk there is a magazine which covers Manchester and environs who'e name escapes me at the moment and there's a very good club each Wednesday at the Cross Keys at Uppermill, frequent guests occasional singers nights. Inicdentally Saddleworth folk Festival held in July in Uppermill is one of the best little festivals you could wish to find.

Cheers
