Wayland Men's Shed
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
“Well, what a change a bit of sun makes! No heaters were used in the production of this month’s Music Shed…..
We welcomed 19 members along this month, where the theme was “Cities”. The range of songs was as usual very wide, going from Max Bygraves to AC/DC, with a good range in between. However, the top tracks on the day were not as advertised – I made a mistake with the scoring so “Nutbush” got ten extra points it didn’t actually have! Sorry Richard….:
=1st “Streets of London” by Ralph McTell on 8
=1st ”Scarborough Fair/Canticle” by Simon and Garfunkel on 8
2nd “Nutbush City Limits” by Ike and Tina Turner which scored 7.8
3rd “Louie to Frisco” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers on 7.5
4th “The Battle of New Orleans” by Lonnie Donnigan on 7.4
5th “Sweet Home Chicago” by The Blues Brothers on 7.2
The next meeting of 2025 will be on Wednesday May 7th when the theme will be “Desert Island Disc”. This is intended to be the one track you would take to a desert island and might be a track that really means something to you, or a track you could play over and over and over again.
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.”
