Hiya, As part of my step son's stag do, I'm going t' the Beautiful days festival(Aug 20 -22)which is near to Ottery St. Mary in Devon. As its grand countryside down there, I thought about spending a few days wandering around there after the event, before going up t' Whitby for last few days of the festival there.

So does any one know of any clubs or sessions happening in the area on the Moday, Tuesday and Weds of that week.

Cheers

Muppett

Try looking here http://www.flaxey-green.co.uk/. There is a sing-around in the Artillery Arms in Plymouth on the Tuesday, but it's quite a distance from Ottery. Hope you enjoy your trip.
