This is an irish tunes session, with banjo, accordian, mandoline, fiddle and guitar usually present, plus often uilleann pipes and other passing instruments. Reliable most Monday nights from 9.00 - 11.30pm, less reliable Summer months. Good standard of playing, but not too fast.
It's from cotton manufacture - "The final stage in the carding department. A slubber hand-operated the slubber machine, which received processed cotton from the cards and formed it into roving. The "speeder" was a device in the slubber machinery, often operated by a separate worker, which expelled the roving from the machinery in long coils."
