The Canberra English Session & Blighty's Revenge
The
Canberra English Session
The Canberra English Session meets fortnightly at Smith's Alternative to play the very best of English trad. Jigs, polkas, and 3/2 hornpipes are on the menu, as are fabulous airs, waltzes and those mysterious maggots! The session regularly features at folk festivals including the National Folk Festival, Cobargo and Yass Celtic. Interested musicians may contact the session through the Smith's Alternative website.

Dance to some of the latest tunes coming out of the UK dance scene. Madness and mayhem mandatory! The Canberra English Session meets every fortnight at Smith's Alternative, Sundays 12 - 2 pm.
