The Mersea Session: MIPS and MIYPS Open Day

25 May 2011

MIPS and MIYPS Open Day - 4th June

I've been asked to help publicise the Mersea Players' Open Day on 4th June - your chance to find out more about the island's drama group, which welcomes new members of all ages and relies on volunteers to help with every aspect of their regular productions.

It's not just about performing - there are opportunities for people with all kinds of skills to contribute - including musicians and those who fancy helping out with anything from sound and lighting to carpentry and make-up. Full details below (click on image to enlarge) - do pop along to see what's going on.

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.
