Session near Aberdare 23 Oct

Sessions are like buses!
Just got this from Mike Greenwood

"Hi there

Following on from the success of last autumn's music day at the Falcon Hotel, Godreaman (nr Aberdare), there'll be a second informal gathering of like-minded musicians for a session/sessions (Welsh/English/Continental/Come what may...) on Sat. 23rd October 2004, from about 1pm and on into the night. For those who don't know the Falcon, it's a quaint, idiosyncratic, out-of-the-way place with a glazed verandah and patio, in a wooded valley off the Cynon, and by way of further enticement, mine host, Elwyn Samuel, is putting on a beer festival over the weekend with 20+ real ales.

Please do come along, bring an instrument and tell a friend.

NB For directions, see http://www.thefalconinn.net (OS ref SO 009001). We may be able to find floor space for those travelling from afar, or you can book rooms at the Falcon.

Cheers

Mike & Debbie"



Ooh we're a busy little county when we want to be!

Not having an OS map in my office (and too lazy to look it up on Multimap) could you enlighten me as to where Aberdere is ?. Others might not know either and be grateful of the clarification

Cheers

The map (which puts you within a quarter mile of the Falcon, but doesn't show it) is at:

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=301500&Y=200500&width=500&height=300&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&scale=10000&multimap.x=203&multimap.y=178

The pub's website is at:

http://www.thefalconinn.net

but has no postcode (which is helpful!)

Aberdare, and more specifically, Cwmaman is in the Cynon Valley about 20 miles northwest of Cardiff.

I'll try and find the postcode to access a specific map.

Hope this helps so far.

Wonder what real ales Elwyn's got? Sounds tempting!

Knowing Splottman's aversion to BCTs:

The Falcon Inn (complete with a list of his standard range of beers, just for Mr Price!)

Location map (CF44 6LU)

Found via Pub Guide

Cheers
