Are there any sessions (Irish or bluegrass, but anything really...) in London, UK, on Thursdays?

I had a look at folkandroots.co.uk and also at traditionalmusic.co.uk, but I'm not 100% confident all the evenings listed are still current and running.

Is there a session on Thursdays at the King & Queen on Foley Street? Certain websites suggest there is. Anyone go to this?

Two certs for an Irish session on a Thursday are The Blythe Hill Tavern in Lewisham and Hammersmith Irish Centre. You should check the session.org, Matt.

Don't make a special journey for a strange session without checking with the organiser. So many cancel or change at short notice.

this site updated last month so may be accurate.

Session.org redirects to Yellow Pages, did you mean thesession.org Gusty?

thanks for that

thesession.org was very useful - being able to search for a session by country, town and day of the week.

I noticed there's one in Camberwell, which is walking distance for me. I'll check if it's still going.

Blythe Hill Tavern sounds fantastic by all the accounts. Though I suspect I'd probably need to brush up on my tunes. Maybe I'll go along for a listen first, keeping the fiddle well hidden till I know what's what.

Matt,
You would always be welcome further south on a Thursday - at the Royal Oak in Lewes....
