If you didn't go to the launch concert, but are interested in supporting West Mersea's historic church, you can join the 'Friends' via their website - leaflets are also available in the church porch. The initiative is all about maintaining the church as a building, for the island and its community. You don't have to be a member of the congregation, or a churchgoer, or a believer at all to join in - it's for anyone at all who cares about protecting Mersea's architectural and aesthetic heritage for future generations. Future musical events in the fundraising campaign will be listed on the News page here.

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.
