I'm perfectly aware of the thread title - I'm commenting on Jim's continued use of the word sessions while really referring to clubs.

It may be a niggle - and it may, as Marje says - be bickering. If there wasn't always an implied or, more usually, a direct criticism of the British folk scene on Jim's part, then I wouldn't be so pernickety.

It appears to be any excuse to give the scene a good knocking, even though the direct experience of many of us is the opposite of what Jim bangs on about.

But as before - 'nuff said.
