Informal session starts about 9.30. Generally the standard is good to advanced, though polite beginners welcome. Tunes- usually about 50 -60 % Scottish, 20 -30% ITM + other, though that changes a lot depending who the guests are. Can be as much as half and half if we have Irish visiters. Please come along and enjoy.
