Welcome to Somborne Sessions
Do you love live music? Read on...
We have embarked on a quest... to put on regular live music evenings at our village hall, in Kings Somborne, Hampshire. Our aim is to provide quality musical entertainment, be it folk, jazz, blues... whatever. We try to book top quality professionals while keeping our prices as low as possible.
So come along and meet us - you'll be glad you did!
Latest news:
Thanks to everyone who came along to see Richard Digance. We've had lots of feedback (all positive) on a great night's entertainment.
Our next gig is on Friday 22nd June, the day before the Kings Somborne Beer & Music Festival. Virgil and the Accelerators are a young and very talented blues-rock band who are getting great reviews at the moment. Definitely not to be missed!
