THE GRASS IS TURNING BLUER IN SUFFOLK!
Our regular Bluegrass sessions began in 2000 on the first Tuesday each month, and have moved in 2005 to The George, High Street, Hadleigh, and Suffolk, where our hosts, Paul and Victoria have made us most welcome. Attendance has grown, with more visiting players joining us, and more locals learning Bluegrass instruments.
Each year since 2002 we have held a free entry event, the Suffolk Bluegrass Day. So far we have featured as special guest bands Rick Townend & Rosie Davis with Ivor Ottley, the New Essex Bluegrass Band, Deep River, and Grassroots. The 2006 event took place at the new venue, main guest band were Wet Paint, and also featured were The Acoustic Astronauts & The Morris Boys. 2007 saw a another appearance by The New Essex Bluegrass Band and Cut the Shuffle – Gerry & Gina from Deep River. Support acts have included mostly local bands. “Calamity” Jean Smith is always there as representative of “Southern Country” magazine, who has given us excellent reviews.
We have enjoyed much support and coverage from BBC Radio Suffolk by Brian Mann, who always gives us an interview spot on his programme “Suffolk Country” every Sunday 12 – 3.pm. (95.5, 95.9, 103.9 & 104.6 FM) Brian has also attended in person, and for the 2006 event sent his assistant to interview visiting musicians live on air.
There are a growing number of Bluegrass and related events now in the district, including a picking session at the Orwell Crossing Truck Stop on the A14 Felixstowe Road on the fourth Tuesday each month.

Big
Music Nights are charitable events featuring talented
East Anglian artists.
The purpose of these evenings is to offer
a different format to other local music sessions, whereby
experienced acts may perform, offering a wide variety
of acoustic material including folk, bluegrass, sea shanties,
self-penned songs, unaccompanied singing, instrumentals
and even humorous recitations – (sometimes delivered
in a strong Suffolk dialect!)
The evening comprises around ten acts,
(plus Interval, Bar, Raffle, etc.).
