Anonymous said...: Another great session last night celebrating its first anniversary! Sadly its founders were absent due to Juliets father being very unwell, all at the session wished him well. It was decided to save some birthday presents including a large tin of chocolates until Greg and Juliet can enjoy them with us all, these are in... the safekeeping of John! Lots of pics were taken by Pete and Hilary so look forward to seeing those soon! A reminder about The Moondance club this Sunday 7pm at The Coast Inn. Jackie xx; 22 October 2010 at 12:00

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.
