Ah - from the folk world website

"Amersham Arms, 388 New Cross Road, SE14 (0181 692 2047). New Cross tube/BR
Music 8pm. "Tuesday is Irish folk night and sessions are usually lively. Sunday nights also feature Irish bands, while other nights are variously themed, including indie rock on Wednesdays and C&W on Saturdays."

Not my cup of tea.

What exactly did Richard say that was 'negative'?
Stop being so defensive and read his post again Mr Guest.

No singarounds and why are you being so negative? Folk music is a living thing it has moved on since the 1950's

I am however very tickled by the pub's own website which so far from a sinaround refers to a "ho-down". That could be popular, I suppose.

Many years ago my daughter's electric band Torniquet http://uk.myspace.com/youngtorniquet played there and it was a bit of a dive - and definitely not the sort of place I'd have associated with folk.

It seems to have a lot of people booked to play.

Do any play 1954 definition folk? Are there back rooms for sessions or singarounds or anything like that?
