Look for a site called  Footstompin', it's an almost purely Scottish site, and the best place to ask.

 I think there is a folk club weekly in Balloch about 5 miles from Drymen.  I think one of the members of this forum  has something to do with it but can't remember who - but hopefully he will chime in in due course!

Lomond Folk Club in Balloch Monday nights (Corries Bistro) sing/playaround. Joining in usually most welcome as is singing or playing something nobody else can join in with. If it's the last Thursday of the month some of the same folk will be in The Wayfarers in Croftamie - very near Drymen. Corries also has a Thursday night musical evening with a kind of acoustic folk and whatever else you want to play approach. The open mic in Balloch is every second Sunday if you'd like to be amplified for a spot. I think there's something in Old Kilpatrick on Tuesdays. Stirling Folk Club is not too far in the other direction if you want Guest Artist plus floor kind of thing. Don't think we've any morris sides.
May see you later in the year?

 ;D Thank you, Melnet members always come up trumps  ;D  :||:
 busy bookmarking the pages so we can find the details again. Will check with the Lomond Folk organiser nearer the time to make sure it's running on Monday the week we'll be there and it looks as if we'll be able to get to the open mic at the DogHouse Balloch on the Sunday too (:)
 Did try Footstompin but it's having a break

 Cheers    Ann
