Are you sure?

Seems like there are a hell of a lot of students and universities over there, not to have a few open mic type evenings somewhere.

We get quite a few talented guys from over there. You are apparently missing out on a part of what your country is producing.

I've never really enquired, but they must have got their shit together somewhere over there.

as for session culture, I've been to more than a few and I know what's involved, and I didn't start this thread to initiate an argument - but its not for me.
