Subject: RE: Singaround Keswick first week in June
Many more sessions around the central Lake District Les than actually in it - probably because no one local can actually afford to live there! The Old Crown at Hesket Newmarket is definitely Sunday 1 June (just back o'Skiddaw ... a mile from Caldbeck) and if you head over to Penrith then The Grey Bull (on A6 at northern end of the town) on Monday 2 June.

If you fancy getting over Langdale way, then I'd suggest you phone the landlord at the Old Dungeon Ghyll (who's a fiddler and involved with a number of sessions in that part of the world (inc. Hawkshead and Coniston I think).

Not sure about west/south Cumbria, but you could try looking at www.mostlyacousticcumbria.co.uk - jam nights and gigs pages - to see if anything on weekly or monthly.

I keep meaning to get to the Hesket Newmarket sessions but never quite make it - I'm told they're excellent, but the pub's very small so you need to get there early.
