The Sessions
 Are arranged by town/village in

All these sessions have a regular track record. Nonetheless, there will be times when there will be no music,
  particularly if a lot of the locals go off to festivals in the summer for example. Check it out by phone before you travel miles.

session  with a mix of most things...***


CARNOUSTIE

A  laid back sort of session, with a good mix of singing, instrumental,
Scottish and a fair bit of Irish music played.

don't turn up here with your Bodhran! Accordians and fiddles, often wth Bass and Piano.

 Dunkeld

The Tay View Hotel, Dunkeld, Perthshire 

Hotel formerly owned by Dougie Maclean.
  Sessions encouraged and can happen at any time.
Instruments available if you haven't brought your own. Very spontaneous.


 Edinburgh
Where to begin? literally dozens of sessions to
  choose from. My favourite is:


Sandy Bell's Bar, Forest Hill Road,
  Edinburgh Tel 0131 225 1156
 Sunday afternoons 2.45 till yon time…A
  cracking wee session dedicated to the memory of the late Ian Grant. Gentleman,
  Master musician and Harmonica genius. What Ian Grant didn't know about pipe
  music wasn't worth knowing. He shared it with us all freely.....he is greatly
  missed... ***


 Falkirk

The Newmarket Bar, Falkirk

 
Tuesday Nights 9.45 till midnight.
This usually follows on from the Falkirk Fiddle Workshop. The students (and tutors)
  go up to the Newmarket and have a tune. Guess what? Stong bias towards fiddle music!**


 Friockheim

Monday Nights 9.00pm till midnight.
The indigenous session. Accordians and Fiddles. Another of these excellent north
  Angus sessions featuring a dance band based repertoire. ***
