Hi

I plan to get down to Upton some time next Saturday; does anybody know anything about venues/times for the Folk Club or sessions there? Who do I need to speak to to get a spot at the Folk Club? I just checked the website but it's pretty thin on info for anything participatory.

Thanks!

Thanks for that, HK...so I guess those sessions are the ones referred to as "folk clubs" on the website. Should definitely get to one or two, anyway- grateful for the info.

Noreen, Sal seems to be having trouble with 'Search'. As I explained to her in a PM, I always use the 'Old Adv forum Search' from the Quicklinks dropdown at the top. Having put 'Upton' into it, I get all the threads, so I don't know why Sal's still having a problem. Does it work for ther Catters?
