Thanks for all your help.   Am organised for Sat and will try to get to the Chillingham Arms tonight.

Any ideas for Sunday night.. I've got a folk virgin who wants to be converted

There's lots to do in Newcastle. I go up for the day occasionally. Even pottering round the shops and markets is fun. Plenty of museums too. A walk by the River Tyne can be quite pleasant. There's a castle too.

Or how about a visit to Seven Stories? It's all about children's literature and is really interesting. There's a cafe there and it is near the centre of Newcastle and fine for buses. I've been and it really is good.

Hi there,

There is a folk concert in the Concordia Leisure centre in Cramlington, which I believe is about 20 miles north of Newcastle, on fri 20th feb featuring Mike Silver and Elbow Jane. Should be a fantastic evening as both acts are superb!

Details can be found here:   http://www.cramfolk.co.uk/

Hi

Anything interesting going on Newcastle on Friday 20th and Sat 21st of Feb.   Going up and for some reason all my friends seems to be out of town this weekend ( no jokes please).   Most things considered. Willing to listen, watch , have a wee sing. Will be based in the city centre but reliant on public transport.

Also   any ideas for a day trip by public transport on the Sat.   I was thinking going up Edinburgh as I haven't been up for ages but the train fare seems excessive.

Thanks
Julie
