Just need to know of any singer-friendly clubs and/or sessions within striking distance of Fort William between 10 and 16 May.
Last time I was up there 3 years ago there was absolutely nowt, but things have a habit of changin' fast.
Thanks!
MM

Walk up Glen Nevis MM. Yopu will be able to do some lovely singing there on your own. It's so lovely.

Yeah Arthur_itus, thanks, I'd already planned a long walk up Glen Nevis, I know the area well from the mountains and hillwalking etc.
Last time I came down from the Ben there was trace of the advertised session on that night, which is why I'd posted for an update on anything in the area. I'm actually staying a dozen miles northwest of Fort William so it's probably the closest focal point.

I looked in Oban Times - nothing to be seen, Don't know if there's another local paper, or maybe a What's On in Lochaber website? (We have one of those in my local area)

I have asked the Q on your behalf on footstompin, so if you have a look you might see a reply -- -

The other place to check is Nigel Gatherer's website forum, events - - there might be a listing or you can ask if anyone knows.
