What's folky going on in the Doncaster/Sheffield area on Monday July 31st?

It's a day between two gigs* in Yorkshire for us and we're not going home to Cambridge for one night in between! We're booked into a Travelodge at Doncaster so anywhere within reach of there would be good.

All advice re sessions, folk clubs etc. much appreciated. I know there's some Mudcatters around there.

*Saddleworth folk festival and Kiveton Park Folk Club

If you just want a very friendly session there's one at the Ukrainian Club, Beckett Road.

It's very much a mixed bag night and depends on who turns up as to what sort of music/songs are performed as we just sit round a big table and 'jump in' when there's a lull in the proceedings.

Ali - I hadn't even thought about the possibility that it might not be in Yorkshire. Pure luck!

Sooz - thanks for the info on Booit Straps.

Yep Booit straps is at the Commercial (Chapeltown Sheffield) you can approach it either from M1 Jct 36 (one closer but not to confuse) or if coming from Doncaster on the Barnsley road you can use the link road which takes you from Darfield towards Wath/Wombwell back towards Jct 36 M1

Monday club is a singers club run by George Hill these days
Friday club same room same pub is the No Smoke Folk club run by Pete Swift (mainly singers)

About 10 miles from Barnsley and similar to centre of Sheffield

I should see you at Saddleworth anyway
