We are spending a few days in Brighton end of July and beginning of August and would like to attend a few sessions. We are generally well behaved and play well enough not to be a total embarrassment. Any information would be gratefully received. We will arrive in Brighton late in the day on 29 July after travelling down from Northumberland. Thanks for reading this.

Lewes Saturday Folk Club remains open throughout August with CAYs every Saturday night. There is a link on that page to Local free Sessions throughout the area.

Sadly, our last night of the season, Bren, is on July 26th at the Royal Oak in Lewes.... but contact us anyway. Come round and see us or we will go for a meal together - something like that, The four of us will have lots to catch up on.
We are out of the country from August 3rd.

The Bull in Ditchling is 20 minutes away by car, and we have a monthly session there on the last Sunday of the month - 29th July's the next one. It's an eclectic session with a good core of traditional tunes. Everyone is made at home - we particularly welcome non-regulars - and all musicians get a drink from the hosts on the night. This month's crack is being hosted by Julian Burton, the saxes/melodeons player from Unreel (our ceilidh band) and yours truly, also from Unreel. We make sure everyone gets a look in and does what whatever they'd like to do.

Come along if you aren't too tired - you'd be very welcome. Starts around 8pm, finishes around 10.30pm. Parking in the pub car park or in the nearby village hall car park.
