Don't know if anybody will be able to help me on this one but here goes. I'm heading off this weekend to go on a walk across northern Spain and (after mulling it several times over) I've decided to bring my mandolin. I've searched the Sessions section and found the few sessions that are listed there for Spain, however, apart from one possible session none of them are on my path (like I say I'm walking).
So I guess my question is, does anybody out there know of any other sessions in Spain? Especially in places like Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Sahag
That's an amazing coincidence! I'm off to northern Spain this weekend and am bringing my mandolin! I've been in touch with Mike 'murfbox' Murphy about the Thursday night session in Bilbao which has been suspended for the summer. At the minute I'm not sure whether or not it will be up and running again by next week. I'll try and find out and get back to you on that. Otherwise, we'll just have to arrange our own rendezvous for a Basque country duelling mandolins type thang.
Well this actually more promising than I'd expected, I wasn't really holding out much hope for anyone having much onfo. I'll e-mail you off list to get those details from you murfbox, and I'll definitely check out that place in Santiago de Campostela pitnekit, if I head down into Portugal I'll drop get in touch too.
Both Gontzo and I are from Asturias. Just leave a note if you are going to pass by. There's also a great festival next Saturday in Moreda de Ayer (30 miles away from Oviedo) and Flook are playing, so we will try to lure them to one of our sessions.
Sorry I missed you Paul, I have the mobile turned off most of the time as I only get a chance to charge it every couple of days, I got to Pamplona on Wednesday, and left on Thursday, I actually sent the mandolin home from there as it was proving to be too awkward to carry walking all the time, every ounce of weight makes a huge difference...
Hopefully we can meet up some other time and play some tunes.
Tunes in northern Spain...
