I help to run a session at The New Tavern in Sidmouth for the week - I still maintain its the best MIXED session in sidders . We have Singer Songwriters who drop in , a variety of instrumentalists and when the dance display at York Steps gets rained off , the dancers come in too ! The music ranges from Trad to Contemporary folk , with
injections of Music Hall , Blues ,light Jazz and even Country music .
There are NO restrictions on any one joining in , and if a singer is in an uncomfortable key for US because of his vocal range , thats OK -but mostly they settle into what the instrumentalists are happy with ! ITs a good scene , but would be a lot better if Mally came in occasionally !!
