Thread Name: Edinburgh Folk Sessions?
Subject: RE: Edinburgh Folk Sessions?
The Bells sessions are not all the same. Most of the evening ones are Irish; I don't often to get to them but Wednesday night is Scottish, I think. The Sunday afternoon one, with George Current and me as the fixtures, is mostly Scottish but extends to almost anything - if you're looking for a session to bring your vielle or alphorn to, we're it. (We don't get many singers these days and would welcome more). There is also a beginner mostly-fiddle slow session early evening on Monday at Bells which is mostly Scottish, and a slowish moothie session George leads on Wednesday (?I think?).

The Royal Oak sessions also vary depending on who's leading them.

On my Twitter page (JackCampin) I mostly list sessions where a significant amount of Scottish music happens (no all-Irish or singer-songwriter ones) - they're all sessions I could imagine myself going to, even if in practice I can't often make it.
