Not sure which? What each one means
- A session Anyone can join in and nobody is booked: tune and song sessions, singarounds, singers' nights and floor-spot nights, even when a folk club runs them.
- A folk club night Somebody is booked to perform: a named guest, usually with floor spots and a charge on the door.
- A social dance People come to dance: ceilidhs, bals, contras, Nos Lowens, and the classes that teach them. A band and a caller may be booked; they are there for the dancers.
- A morris side A side with no practice to list: what it dances and where it is from.
- A morris practice Where and when a morris, sword, clog or mummers side practises, and whether new dancers and musicians are welcome.
- A custom A folk custom that comes round once a year: a wassail, a procession, a mummers’ play, a fire festival, a well dressing.
- A piece of lore A belief, a saying, or a custom no longer kept, tied to a day of the year: from an old book, a parish record or what your grandparents did.
