🎻 Highworth Sessions – A Brilliant First Night at The Rose & Crown

Last night we held the very first Highworth Session at the The Rose and Crown — and what a way to begin. Around eight players gathered with instruments in hand, joined by a warm circle of listeners, bringing the room to a relaxed but vibrant 15–20 people across the evening.

The atmosphere was exactly what we’d hoped for:

Chilled. Welcoming. Musical. Unpressured.

Tunes flowed naturally. Players found each other. Listeners settled in. There was space to try things, space to listen, and space to simply enjoy being in a room where live folk music felt alive again.

A huge thank you to the staff and the owner at The Rose & Crown for backing the idea and hosting us so generously. Having a supportive venue makes all the difference when starting something new.

This is just the beginning.

The aim is simple:

To create a regular, open folk session in Highworth — a place where players of all levels feel welcome, where listeners can drop in for a pint and real music, and where a small cultural community can grow.

We’ll be back in two weeks.

If you play, come along. If you listen, you’re just as important.

Highworth Sessions has started.
