Dear jamsessioistas, this Wednesday will be a last and a first.
It will be the last of the weekly jam sessions and the first of the monthly.
On piano: Nick Rixen
On double bass: Alan Gibson
On drums: myself
8.30 start.
I am sad to say that the weekly Wednesday night sessions at the Plough are coming to an end. After a meeting with the manager of the Plough they made a convincing argument for not making a profit on the jam session costs each week. CCTV showed the management that although bums on seats were good…that did not transfer into the takings.
This is a difficult point, if you don’t drink alcohol or don’t want to eat but do want to attend jam sessions the venues of the jams still need to take/make some money, I say this as an ex pub landlord myself.
The plough has offered the last Wednesday of each month so after this Wednesday the next one will be may 28th.
It’s always a pleasure to meet up and play jazz so please come Wednesday and then each month.
Kindest Regards, Paul.
