IanC - I used to live in Hitchin & work in Baldock - back in the early eighties! - No sessions there then!   

I nominate the Black Horse at Limbrick near Chorley (second Tuesday) as the best pub session. I've only been there once (Jan) but it were brill!

..and I'm inclined to put in a shameless self-plug for Schantieman in the Singer category!
