Alan, all being well I'll be at Lancaster too (but of course I'll be back in Wigan for our "do"), so I hope to see you there (and there as well?...)

Pied Piper, there's one session in the bar, it tends to be mainly songs but instrumentals are very welcome. It's run as a "singaround", so if you do a tune when it's your turn, you'll probably find the rest of us attempting to "diddle" along with you. As for what's happening in Wigan and surrounding area, Click here for the Trouble At 'Mill website, then click through to my "Folkal Point", which Graham Dixon kindly posts on his website for me. It's updated weekly (on Sundays) and is also available on free email subscription. If you want to be added to the mailing list, click here to email me.
