Here in Maine the closest public session is about an hour's drive away in Portsmouth NH.

SINSULL has opened her home, ten miles away, for a singaround once a month and for the occasional house concert, although the latter may not happen much longer due to the lack of real interest, which translates into small fees for performers. Otherwise it's just the occasional folk festival, generally at least a couple of hours away and some a lot more than that, that keeps me in the loop.

Coming from Hertford, where I could get to a folk club within a 20 mile radius just about every night of the week if I wanted to I do feel I'm missing out but make up for it by visiting as many UK clubs as I can manage when I go back for a visit.
