Do the singers sessions last longer that the programme times

That's a tricky one: I suppose it depends on the house rules. BSOTT: is this about music, politics, geography, or something else altogether?

I think GUEST is referring to the Both Sides Of The Tweed Festival in the Eastern Scottish Borders in November (I think).
But you wouldn't know if you didn't know... if you see what I mean

It's about the Both Sides of the Tweed festival (4-6 October this year) at Innerleithen, I should think.

Sessions happen as sessions do, and last as long as the pub will have you! Speaking from experience of last year, the sessions seemed to rotate around the various pubs in Innerleithen so if there's nothing going on in the first pub you come to, either start a session yourself or keep hunting and you're bound to find one somewhere. The pubs are all fairly close together so not too difficult. Owners of expensive guitars (and other instruments) beware the manic dog in one of the pubs (can't remember the name): he likes to jump all over you and scratch your guitar with his claws on the way down! (I'm rehearsing "Dead Dog Scrumpy" just for him!!)

Please try and remember which pub or I'm going to have to take my old Woolsworth £5.5. 7p, 6 stringer, circa 1967.
