Circuit Wednesdays

Circuit Wednesdays returns to The Stag Inn this Wednesday 4 November, with a different musician taking the stage each week. It's run by Josh, and the whole point is that the act changes every time, so if you've been before, you'll be hearing someone new this time around.

It's a mid-week night, which is a nice thing to have in the calendar when the weekend still feels a long way off. The Stag is one of Hastings' go-to spots for live music, and it's built a long tradition of folk and acoustic sets alongside Americana, indie and country-tinged acts. That folk side runs deep here: the Tuesday folk session has been going for around forty years and is open to anyone who wants to sing or just watch. On the fourth Thursday of each month, from 8:30 to 11pm, Liz & Rob host their Blues & Folk Club, and the pub also runs art exhibitions by local artists that change every six weeks. Circuit Wednesdays fits right into that mix, though it's Josh who keeps this one moving.

Because it's a weekly thing, it's easy to drop into without much planning. You don't need to commit to a whole season of gigs; you can just pop in when you're free and see who's on. Since the musician changes every Wednesday, the sound shifts too, so it's worth keeping an eye on if you're looking for something different from week to week.

It runs from 7pm to 9pm at The Stag Inn in Hastings, so it's an early one that wraps up well before the night gets late.
