‘A Band on Ship’ return to Telford’s Warehouse for an evening of drinking songs, sea songs and drinking.
Free entry
Long before open mics had been thought of there was ‘The Session’
Groups of musicians would gather in a suitable hostelry, and play music together. There was no amplification, just the buzz of spontaneity.
Collectively, ‘A Band on Ship’ have decided that the session is due for a revival.
The basic idea is that anyone can come along, and join in. Guest performers can play their own stuff, but they get to be accompanied by the assembled throng.
Chester still has an Irish session at the Cross Keys, but we wanted a wider palette.
So, on Thursday 1st September at the sign of Telfords Warehouse at 9pm, we intend to gather, sing, play and possibly quaff!
It would be great to see you there- Lets share some songs.
The evening will be hosted by ‘A band on Ship’
Nick Mitchell has a fine voice and a deep varied repertoire of songs.
Chris Lee can play anything with strings.
Fluff is an extremely talented fiddlist, and
Russell ‘Rusty’ Mabbutt can drink his weight in beer.
Their history of playing in sessions goes back to the 70’s.
This is going to be a regular night with your support, so once again, Thursday, 1st September 9pm, Telfords Warehouse, Chester.
