Birmingham bluegrass sessions?

[millajuk]

THERE'S BEEN PROGRESSION!

Everyone, we're organising a session in Moseley, Birminham next Tuesday. It's a kind of trial run to see how many people are interested in the area so it would be great if people could come down for a pick. I'm trying to get a rough number so that we are able to go ahead so if you think you can make it, please send me a personal message on this. If we haven't got enough numbers it might not go ahead, but I'll let everyone know. COME ON BIRMINGHAM!

It's Tues 11th December at the Old Moseley Arms in Tindal Street, 100 yards off A435

The more the merrier!

Hi everyone,
We've decided to definitely go along with our session. For those who are interested in coming along they'll be directions posted on here asap. It's time to get the b'ham bluegrass scene sorted! remember - this coming tuesday!

It's very easy to get to from inside or outside Birmingham. From J3 off the M42 follow the A435 towards the city centre for 6 or 7 miles. Take the 5th left turn off the A435 after the B4217 crosses it, into Edgbaston Road, then first right into Tindal Street. It is a quiet cul de sac with plenty of parking in the road outside the pub.

There are traffic lights where you turn off the A435 and a big modern blue building on the corner there, tho not sure how obvious that is in the dark.

Coming out of town you'll have to sort yourselves out but http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... sall_Heath is a site about the pub and http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x ... 8&z=0&ar=Y is a street map showing where it is.

I'm hoping for an early start, say 8-8.30

Hello Bluegrass Community!

Thought we'd let y'all know that The Toy Hearts will be attending the jam session on TUESDAY 11TH @ THE OLD MOSELEY ARMS - That is me, my sister, daddy and cousin... we're working on howard for some fiddle!
It should be a great night! Lets all help spread the Bluegrass gospel to the Brummies and play some mighty fine pickin' and singin'.... Hope to see you there!

Warm Wishes,
Hannah and THs

Hello all,

The next Birmingham session is going to be on Monday 14th January at the same pub as before, the Old Moseley Arms in Moseley, Birmingham. It was real good fun last time so hopefully see y'all down there again plus some new faces. It's easy to find, both from within town itself or whether you're coming from elsewhere in the midlands, but if you have a look at previous messages above you can find directions.

Keep pickin' See ya then!

Aaaaaaaaaagh.

Why is it that even tho' they are few and far between, bluegrass sessions, when they do come up, always clash with another?

Monday Jan 14th is the date for the pickin' session at Hammerwich!

[millajuk]

Sorry Dave - I obviously didn't do my research properly. I'm trying to get this session a regular thing so if and when that happens I'll try and get it on a day that doesn't clash with any others!

Same as before, 8-8.30pm start folks.

[Griffindude]

Where's Hammerwich??

[resochris]

It's between Muckley Corner on the A5 and Burntwood (Staffs)

[dave t]

Hammerwich usually hold their sessions on the third Monday of the month

Hey Dave

Are you going to give us the details or not? Some of us just may want to know, be a devil, give 'em a plug.
