| SECOND SATURDAYS | |
| This is where the Sessions started ~ as an environment in which to share songs, words and music, without amplification, to provide somewhere people can perform, and to encourage them to do so. Everybody is welcome, to perform or not, as we go around the room. You can hear poems, stories, modern songs and various musics as well as folk stuff. Occasionally we also have a Visiting Performer, from 'furrin' parts, who we ask to do a few extra items! There is no admission charge, but we pass the pot round during the evening. The income is used to cover costs and to pay for the expenses of Visiting Performers, and to subsidise irregular workshops on a variety of subjects - voice, song writing, instrumental, etc. | |
| FOURTH SATURDAYS | |
| Starting in June 2007, Shammick Acoustic Sessions will also be running a series of special guest performer nights on most Fourth Saturdays, which also feature some of the SAS regulars. Our guests are nationally and even internationally acclaimed performers. There is a charge for admission on these nights, £6.00 (£5.00 if bought in advance) ~ and members of SAS get a further reduction, priced at £5.00 (£4.00 if bought in advance). You can find the programme by clicking! Advance tickets can be bought (cash/cheque) at Shammick Acoustic Sessions OR at Pet's Pantry in High Street up to a month in advance. Advance tickets for non-members, for all the concert evenings can now also be bought by credit card payments at http://www.wegottickets.com/evenue1230 | |
