I go through the Folk Diary religiously. My absolute favourite session of all actually doesn't appear in the Diary. It's on the last Sunday of every month at the "Bull" in Ditchling, and is run by Ian Chisholm & Stephen Sibbald. In fact, Ian & Stephen don't run a tight "traditional" ship - there's a nice mix of traditional stuff, with a bit of blues and jazz thrown in - whatever people can do...

At the last session we had just one guitar, several bellows'n reeds instruments, three fiddlers, two mandolins, soprano sax, trombone/clarinet... The "Rochdale Coconut Dance" appeared to be swinging through the old French Quarter in New Orleans at one point - excellent stuff!
