Hi Andy

Not sure about Sunday Lunchtimes - Does anyone know what's happening in Fagans at that point

Late afternoons - this one's just started up but haven't been to it

Sorry someone will have to sort the link properly for me or jyust cut and paste it.

Also 2nd (i think) Sunday on month our own McFat runs a session at the Commercial at Chapeltown. That starts at 3.00 ish

Someone else might know more about earlier stuff.

First Sunday in month at Wakefield, Jolly Sailor Thornes Wharfe, 10 mins walk from Kirkgate Rail station (Sheff/Leeds)

Music and song session from about 2 til 6pm


Lots of instruments fiddles/melodeons/whistles/concertinas will give it up for song but jump in

As far as I am aware the Sunday afternoon session at Fagans is still going, haven't been from a long time but it used to be a great session

Cheers

Think Sunday is back on the go at Fagans. There is also some Irish stuff at Dog and Partridge and as Julie says myself and Smiley Dave at the Commercial Chapeltown Sheffield next one will be 9th April after 3pm all welcome.

Listings for Sheffield and surrounding areas (only as good as what people bother to tell us) are at http://www.folk-network.com/directory/index.html.

So far as I know, Fagans still has a Sunday lunchtime or afternoon session, but I'd call first if I were you. Same goes for the Dog.

The session Julie mentioned seems to be a proposed event rather than an actual one; so far at least.

Thanks, Ray, for the Wakefield info. That's one I didn't know about.
