This is a great session for everyone. It has a great format, everyone sits in a circle and we go around and take turns with a song or short set of tunes and all are encouraged to join in.
Originally started from a folk workshop, the same spirit continues, beginners really encouraged! A great place to try out that new tune/song you've learnt or even if you're starting out on a new instrument or are new to folk music. All types of acoustic music are played, mostly folk, but anything goes. We have a regular contingent of players who play a variety of things, guitars, singers, fiddles, various squeeze boxes, whistles, bodhrans, mandolins, bouzokis, harmonicas, egg shakers etc, etc....
It is free for your first session, after that £3 to pay towards renting the room. No beer I'm afraid, but a vending machine does passable tea/coffee/hot chocolate/soup for breaktime!
Every Wednesday from 7:45 - 9:45, room J1

Just a note to let you know we're still here!
We're getting about 12-15 people each week, so plenty of chance to play your own tunes and songs as well as joining in with others.
