From IsolaMandolins on 5/2/2011 10:31:09 AM

Greetings ,

I'm a Yank from Washington state and will be on a 2 week holiday starting July 1. I'm a bluegrass-old time-contra fiddle and mandolin player . I'd like to meet , socialize and jam as much as possible while I'm visiting as a tourist.

Here in the Northwest we play a mix (but not limited to) Bill Monroe , David Grisman, Bruce Molsky,Reyna Gellert, Foghorn Stringband and tunes from the Portland Collection of Contra tunes. I'm open to playing just about anything, including Western Swing and jazz standards.

I'm will be staying in London near St Pauls Cathedral for the first 5 days. The following 9 days are still unplanned. I won't have a car, so my destination(s) should be reachable by train, bus or a reasonable walk.

Thanks - Jim

There's a London based picking session at THE FORESTERS [ALL INN ONE], 53 Perry Vale, Forest Hill SE23 2NE 20:00 and start playing around 20:30 (I never make it as I work shifts when in Loonydom) Hope the trip goes well & you manage to sell the Mandolin too.

We played some grass some jazz some blues and and Jim is a hot picker on mando and guitar. Good to meet you Jim, safe journey and come back anytime.
