On the first Saturday of every month the Hoy hosts a tunes session, upstairs at Anke’s Tea and Coffee Lounge, London Road, Westcliff. It’s an opportunity for traditional musicians to get together and share tunes. It’s an informal gathering, rather than a performance, although your are welcome if you want to drop in and listen.

It’s a loose collection of regulars, irregulars and first-timers, and what happens depends on what combination of people turn up. A chance to play favourite tunes together, to learn some new ones, and to have a chat.

Tune book

There is no set list of the tunes we play, but a tune book of some that often crop up can be downloaded here.
