I agree with annonymous guest - sessions are good and are the 'staple' for most of the year, but a good FF is a real treat - I also agree wth Richard, even though I am a tune person, they can get a bit much without a bit of good singing. There is a superb Irish session in Lichfield - but no songs and some sets can run for 20 min or more. You have to REALLY like Irish music to last all night!
