Hi there. My first post, although I've Lurked for quite a while!

I'd like to mention our Second Welsh Session Weekend, to be held in the upper Tawe Valley, north of Swansea, on the last weekend of October. It's called 'Sha Nôl, Sha Mlân' and there's more info here:

www.sesiwn.org

In essence we've got Welsh Traditional Music sessions organised in local pubs, cafes and the Welfare Hall in Ystradgynlais and Ystalyfera. It's a great chance to play and learn Welsh tunes, and maybe to get to know another part of the world if you haven't been around here before. Last year's was the first and we had getting on for half-a-hundred msucians between every session.

We're hoping for moe this year. And of course, you're welcome to come and listen too. We will some beginners' workshops in whistle, bodhran, mandolin and Welsh pipes, too.

If you'd like to know more, have a look at the website or ask me! Hope that some Mudcatters will find their way over.

Diolch
