This
very Thursday October 1 is another of the Jazz Meets Folk open mic nights,
when you can perform either sort of music and a few types of music in between
as well, such as your own songs. We
usually have folk fiddle, traditional song, jazz piano and song, saxophones,
drums, and I’m wondering when we’ll maybe get a visit from a poet. Everyone who wishes to perform can do so, it’s
free entry, raffle £1, starts 8pm.
But
I should also mention the Sunday afternoon Jam Sessions, 3pm to 6pm, which are
running well. These are for jazz
performers. The 2nd Sunday of
the month is aimed at less experienced musicians, and the September session was
under the guidance of a bass guitarist who was very encouraging. The 4th Sunday of the month is for
more experienced players. Last Sunday’s
session included a Latin improvisation session, when we performed freely over
steady Latin riffs. Such fun! As a
singer, I’ve decided I fit both categories, so I often go to both sessions in
the month. Not sure how I worked that
out, but I like free events. So if you
like free events too, get yourself along!
