The information it contains is hopefully current and accurate. However this depends on your input so if you know of any new sessions, sessions that have become defunct, cancellations, alterations or spot any errors please send details here or leave a message on the board.
ABOUT SESSIONS
Music sessions are most often described as "Open Mic" or "Acoustic".
Open Mic sessions usually have a PA system available and musicians are invited to take turns at performing. Types of music can be very varied.
Acoustic sessions are non-amplified and once a musician has started a tune other players can join in. Types of music can be varied but folk tunes usually dominate though a few sessions are more biased towardguitar/singers. Some acoustic sessions are "round the room" where players are invited to take turns at starting a tune (these are generally those that are more guitar/singer based). The more instrumental & folktune based sessions are less formal and anyone can start a tune at an appropriate moment. However, this requires a degree of etiquette so that all players get a fair chance to play tunes at their own level of ability or confidence.
Jazz sessions have their own format which usually relies on the ability to read from musical arrangements and being able to improvise.
