2 Informal Gatherings in South Hampshire and area

As well as the many groups that are regularly covered in Solent Waves, there are many informal gatherings going on, in and around our area. We hear about some of these and there is a network of movers and shakers who seek to avoid clashes and thus lose someone half an audience. With the help of the Editor, we'd like to tell people about these events from time to time and this addition to the music web page contains the list with more detail than the printed mag where available. These gatherings are usually free and of an informal 'anything goes' nature with songs, instruments and poetry welcome. Please let us know about omissions or mistakes and note that many of the Clubs above also have informal nights.
In addition. note the Sussex Informal Sessions web page at http://www.lewesarmsfolkclub.org/LAFC/Sessions.php.
