Sunday 18th January

Join us for an afternoon of fabulous live music at The Vale as part of our Monthly Sunday Sessions 1pm – 4pm.

A relaxed afternoon of excellent live music in a welcome environment perfect for the whole family. Grab a drink from the bar, bring some pals, your kids, sit and listen or maybe even join our house band for a number or two. And best of all its free! We hope to see you there!

If you’re interested in playing at our Sunday sessions then please do get in touch as we’d love to hear from you!

Our house musicians will be playing a mixture of Latin and Brazilian vibes with an informal ‘Pagode’ style set with a unique Mossley flavour.  Pagode is a type of samba originating in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Distinguished by rhythmic improvisation, its acoustic sound is created using a variety of percussion instruments, song and string instruments such as Cavaquinho and guitar.

With special guests Laura Smyth and Ted Kemp

As interpreters of traditional English folk, Mossley based Laura and Ted breathe life into old songs found in archival manuscripts, recordings and broadside ballads, as well as their own compositions inspired by folklore and local legends. They take a no-nonsense approach to their arrangements with uncompromising acapella harmonies or stripped-back accompaniments on banjo, cello, concertina, and guitar, allowing the songs to shine through. Their album “The Poacher’s Fate” was met with critical acclaim, being short-listed for album of the year by FRoots magazine, and described as “…destined to become one of the most important releases of the year” in RnR.
