The Mersea Session: West Mersea Regatta Song & Dance 2011

West Mersea Regatta Song & Dance 2011

Not a Coast Inn event, but since so many of those who took part are musicians and supporters of the Thursday Session and/or Moondance Club, I've put a gallery of pictures from this year's Regatta Song and Dance on its own 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.
