Try a post on Footstompin' if you have no luck here. It's a Scottish based folk, web site.

I recall learning Mary Mack from a lady named Kirstie in one of the Oban pubs many years ago, so there may be sessions still in town.

A little further away is the island of Easdale (check web for access by local boat), where there used to be a cracking session on a Sunday afternoon. You'd definitely need to check that.

Have a good week!

Try skipinnishceilidhhouse.com. Should provide a decent class of real scottish music if it's open.

Try searching for when this question has come up here before ("oban session site:mudcat.org" on Google). I've replied to one of those older threads.
