Mike Willis's Southern Sessions

Mike Willis's Southern are playing The Jenny Lind on Tuesday 17 November, starting at 19:00. It's a live ensemble led by Mike Willis, and the night is billed as Mike Willis's Southern Sessions.

Southern brings American roots music to the pub, so you'll be hearing that particular strain of songwriting and sound—the kind that sits in the tradition of folk, country and the roots music that came out of the US. It's a live band, not a solo turn, so it's a full ensemble on stage rather than just Willis and a guitar.

The Jenny Lind is a High Street pub in Hastings Old Town, with two bars and garden areas. Its live music programme ranges from folk and shanty sessions to full bands and visiting performers, all served alongside real ales and ciders. Regular fixtures there include a weekly BYO Vinyl Night every Sunday and The Shanty Sessions every Thursday, so it's a spot that keeps a steady rotation of live music going throughout the week.

Southern Sessions fits right into that mix, and entry is free, so you can just turn up on the night. It starts at 19:00 at The Jenny Lind, 69 High Street, Hastings Old Town.
