Adventures in Pop

Adventures in Pop returns to The Jenny Lind on Tuesday 3 November, the first Tuesday of the month. It's the pub's original creative music evening, and this month's bill brings together Fad Maggots, Pito Pato, and The Barbarian Horde.

If you've been around the Hastings music scene for a while, you'll know the night. It's held on the first Tuesday of every month at The Jenny Lind, the music pub on the High Street of Hastings' Old Town. The venue runs a wide-ranging programme of live music, open mics and club nights, including a weekly BYO Vinyl Night, Plugged In Mondays and Unplugged Wednesdays open mics, and the Shanty Sessions. Over more than a year, it's built up a following of local acts, and Adventures in Pop is the night that puts original music from the other side of the tracks centre stage.

The pub itself has a local music scene history. Trevor Watts, a long-time Hastings resident and globally renowned pioneer of improvised music, is one of its names, and the business changed hands when Kieran Canavan took over from Linda Challis. That connection to the town's improvised and experimental side sits well with the kind of original music that usually finds its way onto the Adventures in Pop bill.

This month, the three acts sharing the night are Fad Maggots, Pito Pato, and The Barbarian Horde. It starts at 8:00 PM at The Jenny Lind, 69 High Street, Hastings, TN34 3EW.
