Spa-rring Partners

TONIGHT (Thursday) is the night when a new musical fraternity takes its first 'group hug' I with the launch of an open floor acoustic session in Hitchin.

The Spa Bar on Queen Street is providing. the stage for any acoustic performer/ duo who fancy 10 minutes or so in the spotlight.

The Open Acoustic Nights, the brainchild of Letchworth singer/songwriter Donna McKay, will take place every Thursday and will be run along similar lines to the popular Doctor's Tonic sessions over in Welwyn Garden City.

And Donna, who is making waves on the local scene with her own sassy tunes, hopes the sessions will nurture some great local talent.

Acts are already being sought to headline the evenings as special guests, while anyone who plays guitar, fiddle, harmonica etc, or who generally just fancies opining into a microphone, is encouraged to come along.

Music starts froth 8pm but get there earlier to be sure of a spot. Call Donna on 07977 769517 for more info.

Not to be outdone, The Place in Letchworth has just launched an open floor night for local singer/songwriters, with invited guests to alternate from September.
