Are there sing around/folk club opportunities at Banbury FF? Guitar/concertina/vocals.
Didn't find right pubs last year. Thanks all.

There are many! Check out the programme on the website (here ) and you will see many "folk clubs", "song sessions", and "tune sessions". Times are not given (other than morning/afternoon/evening), those will be in the physical programme you can get when you arrive, but the locations are given and you can look them up beforehand.

And don't forget the mudgather at the cricket club/camping venue on Saturday afternoon!

We had the same problem as Fyldeplayer last year. Too many advertised singarounds had hosts or guests taking three or four songs followed by one "from the floor", followed by three or four from guests, one "from the floor", followed by three or four from guests, etc. We saw young would-be performers give up in despair and go and decided that we would give it a miss this year.

Doubt it, maybe contributions

The Bell is the usual place for sessions, It was not overly populated last year.

though there are others, possibly the Reindeer or the White Hart.

I can't make it this year.
