Gregson Lane Folk Club has a singer's night this evening (27th) and is not too far to go from Blackpool if you drive out toward Preston using the M55..

Could be a little too far for you but if you are up to a 40 minute drive the simplest way would be M55 - M6 (south) toward Preston. Off at Jnct 1/29. Turn 1st left for Walton Summit and go across the fisrt small island. At the 2nd small island turn left again to next island, go right (3/4 way around) and about 200 yards turn left again. Long lane with sharp bend half way to railway crossing and turn right at the T junction. Follow road under motorway up into Gregson Lane village and you will find the club along the main street (upstairs). Not the easiest place to find first time but well worth the effort. Usually you would get two songs in as long as you arrive early enough to get your name down

Unless you know your way to the M6 from Lytham through Preston (which should bring you out at Jnct 1/29)
