There is a folk session every Sunday, at The Tap & Spile in Hull, it is on Spring Bank(near Iceland Frozen Food centre).The pub has recently been taken over by a folkie, and is my local (just 2 minutes from my house), there is music and singing, and everybody is welcome, if you are in the area pop in and meet some of the local catters.

Hi Smallpiper, Who turns up varies, but includes
White Dove (Vocals, guitar, bodhran)
The landlady & her sisters AKA These girls dont dust (singers)
Andy, Cliff & Jock AKA Freedoms Road (Guitar, Bazouki, Whistles)
John & Chrissy (Harps)
Phil & Merry (Guitar & Mandolin)
Emma Rugg (Guitar)
JJ Cale (Guitar)
Harry Gurevitz (Blues Guitarist)
Paul Walch (Banjos)
All of the above are proffesional musicians, then you also get local singers/players turning up.It is mainly string instruments, I have never seen anybody playing bagpipes there yet but I am sure that you & your pipes will be very welcome.Music is mainly english and irish folk, it is very informal, whoever wants to sing/play can do, and best of all is anyone performing gets FREE drinks!
I go in there when I can, but sometimes have to work sundays (I am a delivery driver at the take-away nearby).

Guy-Hessle is in East Yorkshire, near The Humber Bridge (biggest bridge in Yorkshire!), I am not sure if The Hase has rooms to rent, maybe smallpiper will know.
