i've just returned from 6 fantastic months living in canada, playing guitar in coffeehouses etc... and am having withdrawal symptoms as i don't know of anywhere around macclesfield/south manchester where i can do that! anyone know of anywhere? something like the open door folk club but a little nearer would be cool. somewhere where you can just go along and play or not play, somwhere chilled out and inspiring... even in manchester itself...

i'm crossing my fingers!
