Busy Week Sees 6 Live Events

A relatively slow start to the week with just an Open Mic event in the Bulls Head, soon gathers pace as we approach Wednesday. Just around the corner from the Star (hosting a Vinyl night), the Kings Arms introduces Time at 9pm. The Lincoln Arms takes over the mantle on Friday night with Open Mic sessions from 8.30pm. On Friday, be prepared to rock as Bright White play a live session at The Spotted Dog at 8.30pm. Entertainment hungry punters then have until Sunday to decide whether to opt for some jazz and blues from The Fabulous Straubenzee at the Spotted Dog at 3.30pm, get involved in Objayda originals and covers at The Kings Arms from 9pm, or stay on the Blues train to enjoy No Nonsense in The Old House At Home at the same time. West Street normally becomes somewhat of a railway crossing when these two pubs collide, giving customers opportunity to roam between the two venues in ten or so paces. Live music will be pretty difficult to miss this week...unless of course, you stay in.

Three Live Acts for The Weekend

Its horses for courses this weekend, with a variety of music styles. Jo Hall is the first to play at The Star, West Street at 8.30 pm on Saturday 4th December. A London based singer / songwriter, Jo's music is acoustic Jazz and Soul, with influences from Joni Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, India Armie and Steve Wonder to more contemporary artists such as Amy Winehouse.

Rhythm and style moves from guitar to piano on Sunday afternoon, as Andy Duerden takes to the stage in The Spotted Dog, South Street at 3.30pm. Duerden's music can be described as modern musical poetry. His gentle and regularly intricate piano pieces are met with a sharp and moving powerful vocal that encourages the listener to fall into his songs and find meaning in them.

Last, but by no means least, Jinn House take over the Kings Arms, West Street, on Sunday at 9, blasting out energy packed rock and blues originals and covers. This three piece, formed 20 years ago, have been regular acquaintance's  at the Kings and tend to draw a hefty crowd. They are an exciting band to watch and shouldn't be missed.
