A session run by a serious and heirarchy of sessioneers. I got the feeling they regard Scrappy as a young turk. It's up the Archway Road on the left, just before the bridge.
Tends to start not before about 9.30, and can go on quite late. You need a good repertoire to keep up with these guys and gals.
I was over from the States on business (2007 Nov 30). The session was grand -- very friendly, very relaxed, good players. No microphones, but we could hear ourselves just fine. And I do love English beer! The proceedings were loosely managed by a mandolin player and a guitar player. I can't remember any names ( but they were two very decent gents to this guest from way out of town.
Tracy thanks for your comment - we enjoyed your playing and sorry you had such a soggy chinese meal - the session has just passed its three year 'birthday' at which 23 people came and thank you to all who came and keep coming !
a few people may appear tomorrow but it will restart after Christmas
I got there last night around 11pm and was made to feel more than welcome by the players and publicans. Lovely people and great music. I'll be back again! Thanks for a great night everyone
made a very long list of "must learn" tunes here, which is a testament to the musicians.
thanks to everyone, not least mick and john for staying on for some very very late tunes
Time? Who plays there? Directions to get there? etc etc...
