We've used Force9/Plusnet/Free-Online since July the 31st 1997
SSFC resident singers' and musicians' material is mostly traditional, as are most of the guest performers we book, but we do like to hear other kinds of music as well, and very much appreciate visitors who perform contemporary, country, blues, or their own material. Even when our guest diary is full floor singers are especially welcome, as are new resident singers and musicians. It'll cost at least £6 each for admission to a guest night and £3 each for admission to a resident singers' and musicians' night. Membership is free and once you're on the list you'll get email updates etc., and you'll be at the beginning of the queue for special events tickets which may also be a special (probably more expensive) price.
n.b. Musicians who bring their own electrical equipment/amplification are required by The Customs House to have a PAT certificate for any such apparatus.

Here's a few session type tunes. They were recorded stone cold sober in broad daylight with the computer microphone so they have no feeling and they're a bit approximate. I tried to play them slowly enough for those who don't know them to pick up the tunes. More to come when I find the rest of the files.
