St Mary's Church, Pixham Lane, Dorking RH4 1PT We've set up St Mary's Sessions to bring an eclectic selection of top-quality musical acts to Dorking. We aim to put these acts on at a reasonable price in a beautiful setting, to build up a reputation for putting on great acts that you may not have heard of, yet. We will seek out cult and up-and-coming acts from many different genres, and bring them

to Dorking so that you can enjoy something different without having to travel to London. We don't want to limit ourselves musically, but the nature of our current, intimate venue, suits amplified acoustic music, be it folk, jazz, world music, blues, cabaret or English chanson (yes, that's a thing). We may use other venues in future but for the time being we will be see what we can do with St Mary's Pixham. We're also talking to other local music events organisers to look at partnering with them where we can, and also to avoid stepping on other people's toes, as there are already some fantastic music initiatives in Dorking. We're in very promising early talks with some great artists and hope to be able to bring you more news soon on our plans. This is early days for us, and we need to slowly build up a reputation and financial resources in order to achieve what we have set out to. If you have an artist that you think we should know about, please drop us a line and let us know. We will be starting a mailing list to keep people informed of our activities, so watch out for the sign up for that. We're also open to one-off events, or specific nights to showcase the best of local musical talent.

Our show this weekend for John Bramwell sold out a little while ago, so here's a chance to take a deeper look at someone who graced our stage a little while ago, and who we hope to get back as soon as he's next touring the UK, the incomparable Charlie Parr.

Francesca killing it on bass, Loris rocksteady on drums, Big Creek Slim slaying it on guitar, Thomas blowing a hurricane through the harp, and of course, Dawnette's powerhouse vocals. A top night, with lots of dancing. It's a team effort to make an evening this good: artists, sound engineers, organisers, volunteers and of course the audience. Thanks all, we make this happen together.
