Right - here goes!

The only club as such is the Everyman - details from www.mardles.org. Plenty of pub singarounds, though. These include Thursdays at the 'Eel's Foot', Eastbridge near Leiston (though nowadays some people try its twin pub, the Middleton 'Bell', on the first Thursday of the month). The 'Harbour Inn' at Southwold hosts a session on first and third Sundays, and the 'Sorrell Horse' at Shottisham has a very enjoyable thrash on first Sundays, from 3.30 pm.

The 'Greyhound' at Pettistree, claimant to 'Suffolk's Oldest Pub', is up for sale but is currently trading as usual, including second Sundays of the month when the rare Waddon Pete and Rusty Dobro may be sighted.

A little further away, the 'Lattice Barn' in Ipswich is handy for access from Framlingham: every other Thursday, with the next on 15 March.

All these are evenings except where stated. Also the Mardles dates are unreliable until the website is updated.

Look forward to seeing you.

Always worth getting a copy of the Bury Free Press. They have a folk article with club venues listed each week. "Rusty Dobro" can probably help you out as well.

We are visiting Suffolk shortly in the Framlingham area and Beth (the missus) would like to visit and perform some trad folk songs if there are any singarounds.
