I will be spending a few days in the Yorkshire Dales, at Horton in Ribblesdale, later this month. Does anyone know of any music sessions, sing-a-rounds or open-mic nights in the area during June?

Also, are there any events where Morris sides may be dancing or other traditional activities may be happening?

In the past we have found that the Golden Lion in Horton and the Station at Ribblehead have not been averse to having a session and/or singaround. Check with the landlords if you want a DIY one!

Cheers

Add The Craven Heifer down the road at Stainforth to the list if it still run by the same gaffer as a few years ago.

Thanks for the info.

There is only one musician in our party so a DIY session isn't on the cards. The Green Dragon event looks really interesting, so I will try and persuade the others to go along.
