Subject: RE: Folk Clubs in Bath Somerset
I suppose you have looked at the Bath Folk Club website.
If you have your own transport, there is a singaround every month at the Old Down Inn at Emborough BA3 4SA, about 13 miles SW of Bath on the junction of the A37 and B3139. The next is Nov 19, starts about 8.30. It's not a club, just a small gathering of singers who prefer Trad English. Friendly and intimate, and the Butcombes is good too.
There are also folk/open mic/singer-songwriter sessions every 2nd Wednesday at the Wagon and Horses, Old Frome Road nr Shepton Mallet BA4 4LA, about 15 miles from Bath. Offhand I don't know which Wednesdays they are in November, but no doubt the pub staff can tell you if you phone them on 01749 880302.
In addition, there are regular sessions, I think weekly, at The Swan in Bradford-on-Avon, but I'm afraid I don't know what evenings. The number there is 01225 868686.
