Hi, Fairly New Folkie
I've just read your post again, you say "I've never been that confident with performing in public, but want to have a try."

The easy session at the Tiger - tomorrow - may be a good place to start. Unlike full on sessions where, if you don't know the tunes they play you just get left on the sidelines, the intention of the session is to allow beginners and newcomers to folk music to get a feel for the music and for playing in a group. We have our own set of tunes printed up to play from and we practice from that for the first half of the evening then for the second half we go round the room playing tunes or singing
If you find it doesn't suit you, you could always take a stroll down to the Sun Inn!! That way you sample two sessions in one night!!

regards
Jake
