Sunday Sessions

Sunday Sessions Banner with instruments

Join us for an afternoon of fabulous live music at The Vale as part of our Monthly Sunday Sessions 1pm – 4pm.

A relaxed afternoon of excellent live music in a welcome environment perfect for the whole family. Grab a drink from the bar, bring some pals, your kids, sit and listen or maybe even join our house band for a number or two. And best of all its free! We hope to see you there!

If you’re interested in playing at our Sunday sessions then please do get in touch as we’d love to hear from you!

Our house musicians will be playing a mixture of Latin and Brazilian vibes with an informal ‘Pagode’ style set with a unique Mossley flavour.

What is Pagode?

Pagode is a type of samba originating in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Distinguished by rhythmic improvisation, its acoustic sound is created using a variety of percussion instruments, song and string instruments such as Cavaquinho and guitar.

 

This month’s special guest: Zenaida

Zenaida began when Amy met Pat while playing in a Bateria, and they took the pulsing energy of their street band and poured it into a Brazilian Choro duo. As their shared love for music from all over Central and South America gathered momentum, they began exploring music from Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay, as well as their beloved Brazil.

With Andy joining on Double Bass last year, the trio immersed themselves in the canon of solo guitar music from the last hundred years and created unique interpretations of these stunning works. 

Zenaida will be playing music from their forthcoming EP Rococo Flourishes, to be released early 2025. Featuring works by contemporary Cuban composer Eduardo Martin and Brazilian guitar legend Baden Powell.

Amy Bowles (6 & 7 string Guitars)

Andy Patterson (Double Bass)

Pat Selden (Percussion).
