MEGASESH
| Oxjam
at the Canons' Gait. Megasesh Wednesday 26 October 2016, 9:00pm sharp. WATCH THE LIVE-STREAM AT http://tvL.ink/megasesh |

We have an informal traditional session on Wednesday evenings through the year. Mainly instrumental, anybody can come along and join in. In support of Oxfam's brilliant "Oxjam Music Festival" we are having a session - but writ large ! We'll have wall-to-wall musicians with some of the most toe-tapping Scottish music you'll find (plus some Irish, English, American, etc.).
So, we'll have music. But we'll also have a raffle with some great prizes, a buffet, and some rather special guest performers.
Don't prevaricate - we've been known to sell out !
