Sat 2 May -


Irish session with Chris Taylor 3pm to 5 pm at the Royal Victoria and Bull hotel: You'll probably find Tracey (or is it "Stacey") anyway he's a bloke who plays banjo like a musical instrument, and also 5-string fiddle, in there. He's good.

Sat 2 May - outside session 8.45 pm to 11 pm at the Good Intent.

Sunday 3 May - Irish session as above

Sunday 3 May - outside session as above

Sunday 3 May - Hot Rats on the Boley Hill stage at 4.15

Sunday 3 May - Phoenix in Expectations at 8.45 (I think they still feature a fiddle)

Lots of cajun-style bands, I assume they will tend to have fiddles.
