If anyone could help and let me know where they are that would be great. Cheers There is a regular meeting of the Northumbrian pipers at Sedgefield - I've seen concertinas there. I don't have any contact details unfortunately - any C.net members in the area have details? Steve Also folk club at The Sun in Stockton on Mondays.

Roger Gawley Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 ......... and here's a link to a page giving information for the North East Concertina Players , they meet up in Sedgefield but may have some members near Saltburn If you work out the dates, you will find that NECP will be meeting in the Ceddesfield Hall from 2pm this Sunday. Not exactly a session; mainly band playing from dots. Most of us play English although Geoff "Tootler" Walker will probably be there with his Anglo. He lives in Middlesbrough and probably knows more about sessions near Saltburn. You would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnC Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 yet more ..... there was a new 'Folk in the Afternoon' club which started in May, meeting every Tuesday afternoon at the 'Cleveland Bay', Ings Road, Redcar. TS10 2DD I got to the first meeting and really enjoyed it but haven't managed to get back since. The pub's just next to the Redcar East Railway station.

Tootler Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 If you mean tune sessions where someone starts and all jump in and play there is not much on Teesside as far as I know - unless someone has been keeping one secret. Plenty of singarounds though and you would be welcome to play tunes at most. I tend to mix it. To add to those already mentioned, there is the White Hart at Mickleby on Saturdays, two folk clubs in Guisborough: the Rugby club on Sundays and the Cricket club on Fridays.

Geoff There is stuff going on and some is based around a few indviduals and small groups who play regularly - maybe you can ask around. There are some pipe and squeezebox players around Ushaw Moor and Esh Winning and Brancepeth. e.g. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/local/durham/8805004.Small_pipe_expert_s_city_folk_club_date/ I know this basically brass but there will be lots of fiddlers and pipers around the place. (not least because of Tickell). http://www.4barsrest.com/articles/2011/1242.asp The people who organise the Durham summer music school (Theo over at melnet will know these folk as well as the Darlington music crowd http://www.darlingtonfolkmusicweekend.org.uk/ If you come across this singer and his group Joglaresa he will give you some tips on who what and where between Langley Park and Saltburn (his home stomping ground) http://www.myspace.com/micksands Edited July 10, 2011 by Kautilya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
