It looks like I'm going to be stuck in Englandshire for most of the summer. Does anyone know of any sessions in the Whitehaven/Egremont/Cockermouth area of Cumbria? I don't see anything in the list.
The Black North is the North-East of Ireland, not England!
The only thing I've ever got plastered is myself.
Or maybe you know another Nicholas who inhabits the actual Black Country, an area I don't know. But I am in awe of the alchemical traditions which surely exist there - without aeons of practice in turning base substances into gold, no-one could have dreamt of making money out of pork scratchings.
The Black Country is near Shropshire (or there abouts, its years since I was last there), it used to take around 5 hours to get there from West Cumbria - a bit more than a hop, skip and a jump.

Re: Cumbria sessions
Do they play Cumbia in Cumbria?
Perhaps you have to go to South Cumbria...

Of course, if you like things rough, it's only a hop, skip and a jump to the Black Country, the realms of nicholas-the-plasterer...
