Doing YMCA on 70's night.Tues 8 July
|
Tuesday music night at the Last is usually a mixture of jamming sessions, and open mike, though
some sessions are unplugged. Music starts around 9pm and.
musicians wander in and out as they feel like it, Several professional
musicians regularly attend, but everyone is welcome. There is no
"Silence during music" rule, though occasionally we ask for quiet, for
an unaccompanied singer for example. Many styles of music are
played, folk, blues, jazz, 60's 70's 80's 90's classics, and some
originals too. The standard can be very high, though raucous singalongs
with everyone joining in, may not be for purists. Every week is
different and we always look forward to the next session, wondering who
will turn up, and what turns the music will take. On a cold
winters night we decided to have a beach party, complete with indoor
beach, beachwear and sunshine music. This was such a success that
we have had many theme nights since, 60's night, 70's night, and of
course Lastonbury. |

Was this really our 3rd beach party? So we are into our third
year then? 2nd January 2010 Some interesting beachwear and great calypso
music with Alison Fowler playing sax and flute. We wish Alison all the
very best with her new job in Derby, Please keep in touch Alison.
You are always welcome x Beach Bar Girls Joni and Rosie |

songs in the Last Cavern

December 08 update. We now
have a grand piano shaped stage, thanks to Greg and Roy, as well
as the "Last Cavern" mural by Skip, and we are acquiring more real
playable instruments to hang up. Harp, guitar, bodhran, trumpet,
bongos and banjo ukelele to name but a few. Our second beach
party was a bizarre and enjoyable success, with a real sandy
beach, palm trees, deck chairs etc among the Christmas
decorations! Guests Popty Ping, the Bung Bung Girls were
very entertaining as well as very competent musically and have
agreed to come back! John Pinder and Tyr, Gwynfor, Dani,
Sharon, Chris Knowles, Mark Stratos, Roy, Pete Carr and Joni have
also performed during the month, and most of these were also with
us for our Christmas Party on the 22nd when Donna Lea also turned
up to sing Santa Baby and Holy night beautifully. On December 30
Catrin o'Neill will be guest and then I'll be back on Jan 6 with a
brand new song for the New Year. Best wishes to all and thanks
everybody for all help and support. |

LASTONBURY 2008 The Sunday
of Glastonbury weekend, we decided that Tuesday 1st July would be
our own Lastonbury festival. With only two
days to assemble banners, tents, sleeping bags Lastonbury was
born. John and I, Gwynfor Morris, Rhiannon Jones, Chris Knowles and
our barmaid Joni performed with an enthusiastic chorus. Next year we
hope to extend Lastonbury onto the Harbour gardens, and maybe
from these small beginnings, in time this event will rival
Glastonbury, Sesiwn Fawr and Wakestock! |
