The Half Moon Events in Association with JSW Entertainment Group Presents Sunday Sessions.
Sunday Sessions is a series of seated performances hosted at the Half Moon in Melplash. At the venue we have installed a marquee which has been transformed into our own cabaret, socially distanced music venue in the midst of the West Dorset Countryside. Over the coming weeks we will be promoting a range of Folk, Blues, Americana and Jazz at the beautiful 17th century thatched inn.
So how do we run Sunday Sessions during a worldwide pandemic? How do we deal with social distancing and covid compliance?
The show is a pre allocated table booking for your social bubble. These tables are available in bubbles of 6,4,3,2 seaters for booking within our socially distanced venue.
Bookings for all events will be only available via our online booking system which will work through e bookings and contact fee. Please visit:
On arrival at the venue you will be greeted by our host and shown to your pre allocated table**
With our sheltered seating capacity of 60 advanced tickets (Garden Marquee). Weather dependent we will be able to offer further bubble bookings throughout our garden on the door.*
Whilst abiding to government England guidelines all the usual test and trace system and hygiene systems will be in place and this event will be operating table service only.
Not only will the event have exciting weekly lineups but award winning food and drink through-out the evening.
About The Leylines:
?Not quite folk?
West-country collective established in 2013, with a genre-defying, eclectic sound that ranges from traditional folk to full blown festival rock. The Leylines are: Steve Mitchell (Vocals/Guitar), Hannah Johns (Violin), Dan Thompson (Electric Guitar), Sean Booth (Bass) and Dave Burbidge (Drums).
The Leylines was founded by a group of musicians in Weston-super-Mare (via Bristol), wishing to combine their individual musical styles into something that isn?t quite folk, sort of punk, 100% heart-pounding revelry. This unique sound, combined with Steve?s lyrics centered around life on the road and the state of society, has launched the band into the heart of the live music community and made them firm favourites of the festival circuit.
The band released their debut album, ?Along The Old Straight Track? in June 2016, produced by Sean Lakeman, recorded at The Metway studios in Brighton and mixed by Al Scott. With this team on board, inevitably the record has drawn strong comparison to the likes of The Levellers, Mad Dog Mcrea and Ferocious Dog, whilst remaining an album by a band which have forged their own sound and identity.
In the following years The Leylines went on their first of many national tours, and were booked for Glastonbury Festival, where they performed six sets in as many days. They also played stages at Beautiful Days, Goldcoast Oceanfest, Something To Smile About Festival, The Godney Gathering and Big Feastival, as well as many other music festivals across the UK.
The band then released their second studio album Recover Reveal, in March 2019. Starting work on it almost immediately after the release of ?Along The Old Straight Track, their second record was nearly three years of honing and crafting, with a number of tracks crowd-tested at numerous venues and festivals across the UK. The result is a collection of sincere, straight-from-the-heart performances, constructed with care, and played with passion.
The Leylines then took Recover Reveal across the country, before heading into festival season to play everyone?s foot stomping favourites from both their albums.
With a fiercely loyal and ever-growing fan base, The Leylines guarantee to have their audiences up on their feet ? and they will be having as much fun as their audience while they?re doing it!
