Session - what we do

We start with a warm-up game, then work on a few songs, getting to know them and working out our own arrangements. We don’t use charts but have lyrics printed for those who want them. The idea is to be able to create our own version of the songs we like and also to start from scratch using our ideas to create a piece.
