Moving onto early October, on Tuesday 1st the venue hosts Session Americana, a band/collective of talented musicians who offer a musical experience unlike any other. An assortment of instruments are passed around in a sort of freewheeling, modern hootenany with an anything-could-happen feel. “I’d give them 100 miles. That is to say, if they’re playing anywhere within 100 miles of your home, you drive there and are grandly rewarded for your effort.” (David Greenberger).
On Wednesday 2nd Kirsty McGee and Katy Rose (KTB) are playing both solo and collaboratively, swapping and playing on each other’s songs in what promises to be a wonderful evenings music.
