I am staying near Launceston and am looking for an open session to attend whilst here. I have been told there is one somewhere in Bodmin but have no further details. Can anybody tell me more about this or any other session around the area?
Thanks for your replies but I was rather hoping for something a bit closer say within about 20 miles or so. Both of the two places mentioned are over 70 miles away.
I'm afraid I don't know of any *open* sessions apart from the ones I mentioned, though that doesn't mean there aren't any. Bodmin folk club might be a good place to start asking, though there is more of an emphasis on English/singing (or at least there was last time I experienced 'em!). You may have more luck searching Plymouthwards from Lanson, but 'tis alien territory to me.
There is a session at the Skylark Pub in Clearbrook on the second Sunday of the month. I guess about 18 miles if you go via Milton Abbot. If you mail me i will put you on the contact list so you will be mailed if the session is cancelled for any reason

I can recommend the Star Inn at St Just, the Tinners Arms at Zennor and the Gurnard's Head, also near Zennor,

Re: Session in Cornwall
Try Bodmin Folk club, they are a very helpful group and will point you in the right direction of any sessions.
