trad music things to do in london
« on: November 02, 2016, 11:52:59 AM »

Hello friends,

I'll be in London this weekend (friday to sunday)  :|glug, and I would like to know your suggestions for trad music things to do. It could be anything, from a nice pub with live music, to a nice music store...

Clive already made a suggestion to me @George Inn session on monday (thank you clive), but unfortunatly by that time I will not be in London anymore.

BTW I'm hearing on spotify this old favorite live album recorded at a disappeared London pub:

Saturday Night at the Bull and Mouth, Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger

That's what I'm searching for! ;D

Not sure if this is of interest but Thrales rapper are holding a day of dance on Sunday 6th Nov 12-4pm, at the Knights Templar (WC2A 1DT).

The only folk music shop I know of is Hobgoblin, near Tottenham court road station. They don't have a huge selection of melodeons, but its worth a look if you're in the area.

There should be the usual weekly Irish music session, run by fiddler Karen Ryan, at The Auld Triangle, 52 St Thomas's Rd, Finsbury Park, London N4 (near Finsbury Park Station) on Friday night.

They should have got over last weekend's Return to Camden Town Festival by then!  ;)

Ooh thanks, I've been after venue details for this - self and bunch of sundry morris tarts from across the capital and beyond are planning to use it as a good excuse for a bit of a get together.

[edit: just found Saturday's full schedule on Facebook. Bring it on]
