I think this is something that is useful and a helpful stepping stone into session playing, without some of the hassle that goes with turning up to a strange pub session. The idea is that it can be smaller groups of players of roughly equal abilities who can maybe agree common tunes/styles beforehand and so on and so forth. I don't want to impose a particular sort of structure on how it's meant to work....I'd rather stand back and let order emerge from the chaos!

I'd be interested in any thoughts/comments. In particular, I'd appreciate any suggestions of other venues to publicise this list!
