Music Group
The Music Group is open to all Shed Members. You can either bring along a track to play (CD or by mobile app preferred) or just come along and listen to the selections of others. We have a monthly theme, and all types of music are welcome. The Club meets on a monthly basis throughout the year – normally the first Wednesday in the month and starting as soon as possible after 9.30 in the room at the back of the bar near the pool table. There is no additional charge other than the usual £2 Shed sub payable in the social room. We also run a quarterly Music Quiz in the same room after four sessions each year, from 12 - 2, with lunch or snacks available from the bar.

Music Group Latest News
“The latest session, on the 7th October, had a theme of “My favourite cover version”. We had quite a number of regulars missing due to holidays and other commitments but still ended up with 18 attending. The usual diverse mix of tracks were played, ranging from Sid Vicious channeling his inner Frank, to Deep Purple on bagpipes. Eclectic indeed!
The top five tunes were:
1st “Statesboro Blues” by Taj Mahal, picked by Ray, on 8.13
2nd “Mona (I Need You)” by The Rolling Stones, picked by Les, on 7.69
3rd “Always on My Mind” by Willie Nelson, picked by Miles, on 7.38
4th “This Flight Tonight” by Nazareth, picked by Peter G, on 7.12
5th “Call Me the Breeze” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, picked by Graeme, on 7
Our next regular meeting will be held on the first Wednesday of next month, November 4th, when the theme will be “My favourite instrumental”. Before that though we have our second “Long Music” session on Wednesday 29th October.
We always have a good time and lots of good-natured chat, so if you enjoy music of any kind why not come along? You don't even have to bring along something to play if you don't want to, as you are more than welcome to just come and listen to our many and varied selections.”
