Some sessions in Lancaster but I have lived near Carnforth for 25 years and there has never been anything! Nearest club about 4 miles up the road only meets 1st & 3rd Friday of the month. The warden in charge on Silverdale and Arnside AONB is a small pipes player. He may know of something. Contactable at offices by Silverdale railway station. |

18 Aug 04 - 03:43 PM (#1250675) Subject: RE: Music in Carnforth? From: Barb'ry Hi Preston Folk Club is every Friday at the Moorbrook pub - left hand side of A6 as you go towards Preston, just by B&Q. This has a mix of music and songs and is friendly too!! There is also a sort of club (bit hit and miss) in Halton on a Friday at the White Lion - 9ish. Also a mix of music and singing, depending on who (if anyone)is there. Neither of these are too far from Carnforth. Good luck Barb'ry |

I come to stay with friends in Swinton quite regularly, so I'll come to Preston next time I'm there if I can...promise its friendly??!!! Cheers. |
