I'm traveling abroad for a bit and thought I'd see if anybody had an information or suggestions where to check out Old-Time Jams in the London area. I haven't had much luck searching and thought there was a wide range of people on here who might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Should be one on Sundays at The Shakespeare pub, 1 Arlington Way, Finsbury. I assume that's the evening.

If it's any help, Bayou Seco are playing the Keith Summers Memorial festival over the weekend of May 9th - 11 at The King and Queen, Foley Street in central London. http://web.ukonline.co.uk/martin.nail/MusTrad/MTCKeith2008 .

They'll also be at Sharp's Folk Club in Cecil Sharp House in Regents Park Rd on Tuesday May 13.

Sorry about that folks. I've no idea why "They'll also be at Sharp's Folk Club in Cecil Sharp House in Regents Park Rd on Tuesday May 13." should also bring up the Keith Summers festival page, but it does.

I think there used to be one on Mondays at the Hemingford Arms, Islington.

May well still be going.

Or maybe that was more bluegrass than old-timey, I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong.

A quick google led me to this rather comprehensive listing

www.ricktownend.co.uk/Calendar.htm

It's headed Bluegrass Calender but covers a wide range of events in the general old-timey field
