hi I'm looking for some information about sessions in london. I'll spend all the summer in london and would like to visit as much as I can. Also, if you have any idea about accomodation I'll be very pleased with you. Hope to see you all in the sessions
Session in West Kensington, London
Irish music session, Bird In Hand, 88 Masbro Road, West Kensington, London, W14. Tel 020 7603 2417
Mondays (9.00pm-11.00pm). Shepherds Bush tube or Hammersmith tube
Session in Greenford, London
Irish music session, Captain Morgan's, 1286 Greenford Rd, Greenford Middlesex. Tel 020 8864 6938
Thursdays (9.30pm-11.30pm). Greenford tube or Sudbury Hill tube
Session in Kentish Town, London NW5
Irish music session, Auntie Annie's Porter House, 180 Kentish Town Road, Kentish Town, London NW5. Tel 020 7485 3237
Fridays (9.30pm-11.30pm). Kentish Town tube
No don't worry about phoning the contacts - just turn up, tell them you heard about the session and ask somene if you can join in; naturally they'll say yes. I would reccommend the orterhouse on a Sunday simply because it's a really friendly session. In terms of accommodation, what type are you looking for?
What about the stags head...is that still running, I heard someone say it was more of a gig - but I'm assured from one of the musicians thats its a session.
Hi. I`m on this again. Answering to Conan: I'm looking for a room to stay during the summer. A place to set my few things. Not very expensive and able to be shared with my girl that is coming with me. She sings, plays Bodhran and fiddle and I play the guitar ( at least I try). Thanks for your help and interest. Hope to see you on sunday since I'm flying on saturday.
Andybanjo - I'm a West Londoner, so I'm not the best person to ask about S.E. London, but I know of a session at the New Cross Inn, New Cross on a Sunday night (starting about 9pm). I posted more precise details of its whereabouts in a recent thread.
For anyone else, I've posted other info on London sessions before, some of which Conan may not have mentioned. You'll find it by doing a subject search on "London".
There is also a session at the Hardy's Bar,Trafalgar Rd. Greenwich SE10 which is every two weeks - next one being July 14.You can contact me via the session email for more info.
Best of luck,
dave

Re: sessions in london
Thanks to all. Do I have tolet the contacs know that I'm going?
Does anyone have any idea of accomodation?
It would be a great help.

Re: sessions in london
I've also heard that the Porterhouse in Covent Garden is good for a friendly Sunday afternoon session so I'd second Conan's recommendation.
This subject came up recently on the Irtrad-l mailing list and the Porterhouse session seemed to be recognised as the most welcoming.
I haven't been to it myself but I keep meaning to get around to it.
