We have a bluegrass/old time session every first and third Wednesday of the month at Bolehall Manor Club, Tamworth homepage.ntlworld.com/bob.blak...Bolehall/ The next one is tomorrow, 8.30 prompt start. Their are no superstars here, just keen jammers who will make you welcome. Beginners can sit behind the circle without feeling pressured, until ready to join in fully. Ron came last time too. Dave
