Hi All
Sarah and I had a great week and managed to get to three different and varied sessions on the North East coast. Tuesday at the Back Alex in Saltburn for an excellent Bluegrass session. Whitby Friendship Rowing club on the Thursday. Special thanks to Mick and Angie Haywood for their warm welcome and hospitality afterwards. Also to Jim the Fiddler for pointing us to the Endeavour on the Friday. This pub proved very noisy, so all the performers soon decanted to the Middle Earth just up the road where the landlady kindly opened up her top room for us and a very pleasant session ensued. I hope this will become a regular venue in future and look forward to visiting again.
Thanks again all for the information.

Thank you for all the replies folks. It sounds as though I could have a very busy week up there. I'll look forward to meeting some of you there.

Hi Guitarfumbler.
There's a very good session - in the next town /village to Saltburn i.e. Marske - at the Ship Inn in the Fishermans bar on Monday nights approx 8.30 til after 11.

Hi Guitarfumbler, Try the Elsinore on Flowergate in Whitby for the Tuesday Sessions, everyone welcome to a very mixed session, with NO rules. You would be most welcome.

Hi Mudcatters. Can anyone recommend any good mixed sessions happening in the Whitby/Staithes/Saltburn area for the week beginning 13th September please? I'll be holidaying in the area that week and it would be nice to play a few tunes with some like minded folks. Thanks
