Mandola

We convene on the SECOND Tuesday of each month and have been meeting for over ten years. We encompass a number of ability levels, and we welcome and encourage all to join in: pickers, singers and as well as those who simply want to listen to Bluegrass and Old Time/Appalachian acoustic music. Lucy Quinn, who convenes the session says: "Sometimes this session contains folk music." She is well-known as a singer and organiser of folk events in the Oxford, South Oxfordshire and Berkshire area (including Wittfest in June and Oxford Folk Club).

Location

Very popular session moderated capably by Bruce, who is good at encouraging newcomers to join in, Usually busy, but can be jam packed near Christmas.

This session is a victim of its own success. It has grown too pupular and the regular drinkers sometimes feel threatened by the number of musicians in a limited space. They do not need any publicity and I regret that this event will have to be removed from Folkjam.

Location

We convene on the LAST Thursday of each month and have been meeting for over eight years.
