Thursday 18th December 2008 – Live Jazz & Acoustic Jam Night with The Three Teas

This is one of those new events that we said had made it’s way into the Liverpool Acoustic Diary this week. If you’re looking for an acoustic jam event with a difference then we think we’ve just found it.

Taking place at the Brew Tea Bar on St Paul’s Square (off Dale Street) the organisers are looking for acoustic musicians who are happy to play at lower acoustic volumes but still enjoy the fun of improvising with other musicians. Drum Kit (with brushes), Stand up Bass will be provided. (Please bring your own instruments)

Starts at 5.00pm and ends approx 8.00pm

To book your slot call in or phone Julian on 07808003372.
