SCARED OF JAZZ?
You don’t have to ‘get it’ to enjoy our session – just be open to joyful sounds, spontaneity, humour and larks, great musicianship, storytelling and chat, The Funk, characterful tunes that are the opposite of bland. You don’t need to be some kind of jazz expert to get into this!
WORRIED ABOUT BEING A NEWBIE?
Fear not. I’ll be there to welcome you in. I’m around for a chat and to make you feel comfy – especially if you’ve never been before. All the people who come are friendly too. It’s casual and relaxed, there’s no dress-code and the gig’s a great way to meet new people (if you want to, of course). It’s one of those places where you could visit alone and still feel comfy.
DON’T KNOW THE VENUE?
If you’ve never been to The Barrel House before, it’s a lovely spot nestled beneath the castle at the top of the High Street in Totnes. It has a long history in the region as a much-loved music venue and it has a regular programme of gigs by touring and local musicians and DJs. The Barrel House does hot drinks and craft beers via the downstairs Totnes Brewing Co. On our sessions, there will be sharing plates of nibbles served at café tables AND you’re allowed to bring in food from takeaway joints nearby! Unfortunately, the Barrel House ballroom is upstairs and not wheel-chair accessible.
WORRIED ABOUT PRICE?
Grab yourself an EarlyBird ticket and get in for just £6! Even better – sign up to be a JoySeeker member and get in absolutely FREE – whilst scoring yourself plenty of other membership benefits too. Sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/MamaTokus
DON’T WANT TO BOOK IN ADVANCE?
That’s a shame, because it’s nice to have something in a diary to look forward to (especially with a few mates involved). And, like I said above, you get a cheaper deal if you’re an Earlybird… But if you want to keep it casual, you’ll be very welcomed on the door, although the price does go up to a tenner.
