From the beginning of 2025 the session has moved to the Crown at Bathford. It is on alternate Mondays and sessions will start at 7.30 and continue to 10pm or thereabouts.
Since the pandemic we have also been running online Zoom sessions on every other Monday alternating with the pub sessions. These are continuing and have a healthy attendance. We keep these sessions going to maintain continuity and friendship and we have visitors to these sessions from as far away as Madeira and Germany. The online sessions have their own enjoyable flavour. If you are interested in the Zoom sessions then please phone us on 01225 864706.
Here is a list of dates for the live sessions, in case you forget which week we’re in.

The session reached its 20th birthday on September 9th 2024. If still feels extraordinary to me to. think how much wonderful music has been played by so many people (in so many pubs!) over the last 20 years.
We are also involved in running some sessions at festivals. These sessions are run in the name of the BoA sessions, a lot of people from the sessions turn up and, judging by previous experience, a good time is had by all. The sessions are at Priddy and (in previous years) Bath Folk Festivals, but we’re open to offers for others.
We have a mailing list for session regulars so if there is a cancellation (rare, but it did happen once) we can let everyone know quickly. If you want to be on it just let me know your email address at a session.
