Wednesday Nights Sessions
Information and Gallery of Pictures
Perhaps the Wednesday night jam at the
Cannon is not for the feint-hearted?
The atmosphere is friendly enough and new
comers are always welcome, but if you're going to take the lead, as opposed to
just join in, then be prepared to play as soon as the music stops; for although
you'll be offered encouragement ("Oi! You with the banjo, play
something!") there are no shortage of takers, and pub silence, while
players wait their non-existent turn, is rare. But it's not just a musician
thing: many regulars of Newport Pagnell's centrally located pub enjoy the
evening's varied music, and folks passing by often linger a while to gaze inside
on what they hear outside.
Of course, all this is possible because of
those prepared to tame this weekly event, and impossible without the support of
a live-music-loving publican who offers at least one pitcher of ale to those
taking part; now that's encouragement!
