All That Is Mersea concert update

The 'All That Is Mersea' concert in aid of Friends of West Mersea Parish Church, in which session members - or the 'Coast Inn Players', as they were styled for the evening - sang a selection of rousing shanties, gets good coverage in this week's Courier, with photos by Chrissie Westgate forming the centre spread.

DVDs of the concert are now available at £10 (or at a great concessionary price for performers).

See the FWMPC website for details or email info@fwmpc.org.uk to reserve your copy.

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.
