From: GUEST,Guest

Going up to Newcastle (this coming Wednesday) then on to Berwick for 5 nights. Are there any sessions or folk events happening in Newcastle on Wednesday or Berwick the next few nights that people might recommend? Thanks.

Are you saying Newcastle & Berwick, Maine?

Maybe Charlie Noble can help you, he's just north of Portland.

There's a Friday nite open session in Portsmouth, NH at the Press Room, on Daniels St, but that's a fair dirve from where you'd be.

There's a session in Berwick upon Tweed, England, every Thurs night, but I'm not sure which pub it's in.

Oh, are we discussing the UK?

Sorry, I read that as New England, my eyes were missing something as they crossed.

There's a (mainly)Irish session on Wednesday nights in the downstairs bar at the Cumberland Arms, Byker, Newcastle. Other musical events happen on most other nights - they're usually free entry downstairs, pay at the door upstairs. See their web page at

for details and navigational directions.

Wassail!
