I started this session about six years ago. It began life as a weekly get together for my older students, to get them used to playing in public, & motivation for learning tunes. It quickly developed into a proper session, with a fine reputation for a warm welcome for beginners. The session kicks off around 9.30pm, & is primarily a tune session, however a number of local ballad singers are in the habit of carrying on with a song session, at the end of the night when the tunes are over. For many years it also hosted my twice weekly junior sessions, which were a big hit with the holidaymakers.
