The Mersea Session: Regatta Song and Dance update

19 July 2011

Regatta Song and Dance update

Great response to last week's call for musicians to take the stage at Regatta Song and Dance on 20th August - thanks all, your enthusiasm, time and talents are very much appreciated.

There's going to be a really rich variety of high quality entertainment for everyone at the Coast Road car park all afternoon - not just music, but storytelling and drama too, maybe even a fire-eater!

Still a few places left, though, so please do drop me an email if you're at all interested.

STOP PRESS: exciting news - One-Drum have agreed to start the whole proceedings off with - quite literally - a BANG! This will be a brilliant way to kick off Song and Dance 2011. They'll probably be starting at noon, but watch this space for definite info soon.

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.
