MIYPs - "The Junction"

A quick plug for a group of Mersea's talented youngsters, ably led by some of our regular Session musicians. Mersea Island Youth Players (MIYPs) are putting on a show called 'The Junction' at the MICA centre on Friday 2 July and Saturday 3 July.

Doors open 7 pm, curtain up at 7.30. If you visited the Mersea Food & Drink Festival in May, you will have had a preview of some of the treats in store.

Hello and welcome

If you are looking for the rockingest acoustic session in Essex, it's on at the Coast Inn, in West Mersea, 8 miles south of Colchester, every Thursday night.

The acoustic of the venue is excellent, wooden floor, no soft furnishings and varied ceiling heights. The beer is excellent, currently Green King IPA, Mersea Island Brewery's Yo Boy! and Captain Bob from Maldon.

But be warned, musician seats fill up fast, as do the remainder for listeners/drinkers, so it's wise to arrive about 8pm. And don't expect an early night - the music usually finishes about 11.30.

Music style is widely varied, from Irish, Scottish, English and American tunes to bluegrass, jazz and rock, with songs from many genres. It is a completely inclusive session, with no cliques or rules, just respect for fellow singers and musicians.
