My old pal Ralph, is a fine singer and guitarist, who has lost touch with other traditional musicians in Wiltshire, around Devizes, and is interested in getting back to the old music scene, any good sessions in that region?
All the best
Larry

Not too sure about the ones on a regular basis but there is always a good one held at The Chippenham Festival on the last weekend in May. It is held at the Old Road Tavern and I think there is a regular one held there on a Sunday, I think.

Dear Shambles:
Thanks, mate, Does your handle refer to the market in Divizes or Chippeningham?
On behalf of Ralph,
Larry

Martin Neill's Pages is a great source of information about the English scene, and has links to other sources as well. Some of the links on my website might also be helpful.

Dear McGrath:
We are running out, but had a quick gander at the south west postings, and it is funny but Ralph seems to be in a small pocket which the Trad music scene has overlooked and died out. Any news on Trowbridge?
All the best
Larry and Ralph
