Timetable: Sessions
The Moongazing Hare Bar Sessions will be sessions, not playarounds or performances. Think of it as a chance to join in joyous tunes with friends and strangers. There will be no pressure on you to start tunes but if there is a particular tune you want to play but don’t want to start it, someone will help you out. There are stages within walking distance so we reserve the right to limit the number of drums etc if it gets too crazy!
Currently known Sessions for 2024, there may be more
