Diva - there will be lots of concerts, for which you'll need a ticket; if you want to hear singers performing mainly trad songs in a less formal setting try the Volunteer pub at lunchtime (but it gets very crowded). If you're an earlyish riser we'd love to welcome you to the song sessions in the Faulkner Bar of the Royal York and Faulkner hotel on the Esplanade, from 10.30 to 12.30 from Sunday through to Friday! There are also evening song sessions in the Faulkner, and of course the famed unaccompanied song sessions upstairs in the Anchor pub at lunchtimes and evenings.
