S is for Session Space

Here’s the session space run down for the festival:

The George – sessions in the café and in the riverside room – the only thing they ask is to keep the main bar area clear to allow for quick service and turnaround of customers. Wheelchair accessible.

The Institute (Glencairn Memorial Institute – upstairs hall (lift accessible) Friday 7pm – midnight and Saturday 4pm – midnight is for session players (open stage at other times). There is a bar and café running – check the programme for details.

The Old Bank (you may remember this as the Green Tea Roon) – a smaller and more intimate session space in the old RBS bank building of The Bank House on Chapel Street, diagonally across from the Institute. No bar in this space – times tbc. Please remember there is a family living in the house joining onto this space. Not wheelchair accessible – there are steps up to the space.
