The Mid-Week Sessions is a small, select series of concerts that will be donation based rather than having a ticket cover charged. And as the name implies, they’ll be mid-week evening events.
On the night, we will be ‘passing a hat’ and you can contribute what you think is fair and can afford. This is something we’re trying out and we will need to see if it is viable. If it proves that it works, then we aim to hold a limited number of concerts throughout the year for this series to start with, and hopefully it’s something we can develop thereafter.
The only other thing we request/recommend from you guys is that you pre-book your ticket online (which carries a €1 booking fee). This is because, we’re a small venue with capacity for only a certain number of people. It makes everything a lot more straight forward if we know how many people to expect in advance and means we can manage people turning up on the night without creating hassle for anyone in the event that we end up having more people than we can accommodate. Should this happen, the people who have committed to pre-booking will be given priority. So if you don’t mind, we’d appreciate it if you could pre-book.
It's not easy to describe the almost endless mix of merging influences in this amazing string master's playing. He moves from a classical opening with almost courteous music across the continent to the blues of the Mississippi Delta, from the Balearic Islands to the Balkans, and then back to the United States. A Spanish blues evolves into Gypsy music, travels to Eastern Europe, with a splash of Paco de Lucia, then a touch of Delta tunes and more. Also influences from Richie Blackmore, Joaquin Rodrigo, JJ Cale and even J. S. Bach speak for themselves. Claude Bourbon has impeccable timing and does things on six strings that are simply amazing. Experience a stunning acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar.
