Hi Rick,

Only just found the newsgroup & was reading the 'older' posts when I
spotted yours.

regarding us 'South of the River' types (Humber not Thames!) we do have
a few venues for Folk/Trad. & variations thereof...in fact, there is an
'Open Mic' night at the Carnival Inn at Barton ( almost underneath the
Humber Bridge, south side) pretty much every week I beleive. Not
strictly speaking a 'Celtic or Traditional' music affair, but some
accomplished musicians & a nice atmosphere too.

I'll be there myself this Saturday (6th Dec) lending support to a few
friends (& maybe 'twiddling the knobs' too, as I do a bit of sound
engineering now & then too!)

I'm sure you would be made very welcome, and seeing as its less than 50
miles from Scunny, it might be worth a look?

Regards
Rob Hanson

p.s. hope I'm not breaking any posting 'ettiquete' by mentioning the
session, just for the record, I have no financial interest in the pub at
all! ...just trying to be helpful...:0)
