Do the ones in Northampton still take place? If so, does anybody know what they're like?

There's been no update apart from spam since 2008 for either of them. And thesession never tells you whether you can expect anything but Irish music.

Although only numbers 3 & 4 on that list are actually in Northampton itself, it would be worth the effort to get out to Moulton (No.38 bus from Greyfriars bus station).

The Moulton Morris musicians are usually in residence (including, if you're lucky, Simon Care)!

Do they exist? English ones, preferably.

I'm thinking of visiting there at the beginning of August.

Would have to be in the town itself, I doubt whether public transport is up to much for surrounding villages and I don't drive.
