Royal Mile Jam - New Date & Location

Because the Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club meeting is a week early in February, overlapping with the usual time for the Royal Mile jam, we will be holding the jam a week later, on 2/12/12.

The location is still TBD pending info on the Royal Mile's status, so keep watching this space.

Royal Mile Closure

The Royal Mile Pub is currently closed for repairs and "restructuring".

The jam session will be moving to a temporary location until such time as the Royal Mile reopens, or a new venue is found. Look for more information in this space soon.
