Yes, Llanfair. The group I'm talking about is the Tune Club that Gary Northeast runs (details on the trac site, above). It isn't a Welsh speaking group. Gary teaches (I think) one tune a night. A real mix of abilities and instruments.

There's a good session (Friday night I think) in the Nelson in Bangor. It started out there, then had to relocate to Menai Bridge for a while, but I hear it's back in the Nelson now. Welsh once a month and the rest is mixed. I think there are various things happening in Caernarfon as well, some at Galeri (the arts centre) but I don't have any details. Neil and Meg Browning are involved (the groups, Never Mind the Box, Cajuns Dembo, et al)
