I'm an impecuniate singer/songwriter spending a few days (7th to 14th Aug) in the Lake District.
Does any kind soul know of any sessions within a reasonable travelling distance of Bowness-on-Windermere during that period?
I'd be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks

I don't know how near or far they are, but Wednesday is Whitby at the Friends of Rowing Club or some such name, and Friday is Robin Hoods Bay at The Dolphin. Both very good.

Thanks for the help, folks.
Sunday morning, just about to hit the road north.
No time left to practice my jigs 'n reels - as I recollect they play them at lightspeed up in that part of the country!
Cheers, Martin. Catch you when I get back.

Hi there

Try the Queen's Head in Keswick on Tuesdays which is amplified but encourages floor singers, or the Old dungeon Ghyll, Langdale on (I think - Phone 'em to check) Thursdays, an informal session. Both are excellent fun and very friendly.

Cheers
Wayne
