JamSesh and HUB are playing at the Hayes Christmas Lights event on Saturday 25th November in front of the New Inn in Hayes. Our time slot is 4:10-4:30 pm. Please arrive at 3:45 pm so that we can have enough time to set up. You will be able to leave once we’ve packed up after we’ve finished playing at 4:30 pm.
Please keep learning to play and sing the Christmas songs (see Satchel One for the music).
On the day you will need to bring the following:
- The Christmas song book (see Satchel One)
- Music stand if you have one
- Your instrument and accessories e.g. pick, leads, amp etc.
- Wear warm clothes (not school uniform) and something festive e.g. Christmas hat/tinsel/reindeer antlers …
Even if you are not part of JamSesh or HUB, it would be lovely to see lots of you in the audience joining in with the Christmas songs and supporting the event.
HUB reminder:
If you are playing at the Christmas Lights event next Saturday, please can you come along to the JamSesh rehearsal the day before (Friday 24th Nov 3-4pm in CGF). This is so we can have a quick run-through of the Christmas songs together with JamSesh. Please remember to bring your Christmas music to this rehearsal.
