Mr Red's folk site
Bristol Pub Sessions (with links to local folk clubs)

Will do, am visiting Eden Project Lost Gardens etc because I am intensely interested in the environment which is why I am going down in a petrol guzzeling VDub with no catelitic converter -well you have to do your bit don't you?

Linda - if you ring Jan the Van she knows the sessions in that area. Chris Ridley's site lists in Cornwall (I link to it) and when I was in Falmouth there was a session on the Tues in Jacobs Ladder (at the top of the steps called....) Wed was an open stage/mic night. I waqs told by Pete Grassby not so long ago that the Gunnards Head hotel near Zennor still have a bash on Wed night.

The Wed night at the Gurnards is still running it alternates between Irish (mainly tunes)one week and Bluegrass the next.
Friday nights there is usually a band or solo booked.
It's us on the 7th June. Plug, plug.

It's on my "other links" page Linda. I am too mean to waste good 'catting time to look right now.
