Folk'n'Friends
Directions
The Waverley Bar * is in St. Mary's Street in the Old Town of Edinburgh - Scotland's capital city. If you were going down the High Street ("Royal Mile"), you would turn right at the junction where the High Street becomes the Canongate (Jeffrey Street on the left with The Tass on the corner, St Mary's Street on the right with The World's End on the corner). The Waverley is just a few paces down the street on the right.
Many buses serve the area.
Free parking is usually easily available in the street in the evening.
Edinburgh railway station is a short walk away (as long as you come out the back entrance - signposted as "Market Street"), and you only have to walk the length of Jeffrey Street.
There are two or three handy drainpipes and lamp posts for chaining up bikes.
If looking for directions, you shouldn't have any problems - ask for "The Waverley Bar", or "Saint Mary's Street", or for "The World's End" - one of Edinburgh's most famous pubs.
* The Waverley has a redoubtable history in the folk world, with many of the big names having cut their teeth in the upstairs bar. (We're told of, just for example, The Incredible String Band, Billy Connolly, and The Corries, and Bert Jansch is reported to have said "I learned that if I got up and played a few songs at the Waverley Bar, people would buy me booze.')

Folk'n'Friends. Singing session
virtually every Tuesday evening at The Waverley Bar, Saint Mary's
Street,
Edinburgh. Singers, and non-singing visitors always welcome. Whether
traditional or self-written, in the folk music genre or whatever, we
simply like songs. |
