Session

Every first Friday of the month, the No Frills Band are hosting open, round the table folk sessions. All musicians and all styles welcome. We play Irish, Welsh, English and Scottish tunes, American old time, bluegrass and western swing, Greek stuff, Turkish stuff, French tunes, Yiddish tunes, East European tunes and Scandinavian tunes, old stuff, new stuff, and probably more that I’ve forgotten. All abilities tolerated. Come and swap tunes and songs, meet people, learn stuff. Or just come and listen to the music. See you in the Grosvenor. ...

No 7 Tuesday Session takes place at various pubs along the 7 bus route between Bolton and Wigan, every Tuesday.

All are welcome to join or listen, though space is limited and the room can get snug.

North East Fiddle School at Wylam Methodist Church (Wylam) — Classes and Workshops, Every Week

Join us for a friendly, informal session, with tunes and the odd song from Northumberland and elsewhere, including Old Time and with lots of good crack. Musicians welcome from out of town. Bodhrans with a driving licence only please. Assorted percussion and didgeridoos actively discouraged.

The session is in its early stages following the bar’s reopening after the Celtic Tiger crash. Players are mature and the mix of tunes is varied.

This session has been running for the past twenty-five years and is the home of the local Comhaltas group. A junior session was recently introduced, starting around 8.30pm, with the adults taking over around 9.30pm.

A traditional music venue operating since 1934, with sessions held every night of the week.
