Where do you live in London (if you do) and what do you play? And at what level?

It is simply not true that there are no slow sessions in London. There are plenty of decent sessions in London - a lot of them might not be regular or weekly but there are plenty of sessions, good and bad, fast and slow.

Sounds great! - We could do with some gems of flute players down here at The Ivy House, Nunhead, SE15! But presumably South East London is too far out....

What you say is very true Professor. There are too many tune murderers and song assassins in London playing way too fast and annoying the advanced players. The Rasher knows, because he has seen your beautiful sweet travelling pipers' style of playing the flute, both with the Fureys, on RTE and in Newcastle and in London recently.
