Greyhound Inn, Penkhull, Stoke-on-Trent. Wednesday, November 2, from 8 on. Not strictly accurate to call it an English session, please turn up and play and sing whatever you fancy. But the landlady has asked the Boat Band to turn up and host the evening, and we will definitely try to steer things in an English direction. Plus the odd two step, no doubt.
   The pub is suitably situated for easy access from north and south: two miles from the M6, and Carlisle and London are equidistant.

   All musical instruments welcome.There is a skip for bodhrans and shaky eggs in the carp ark.
