EXPERIENCED musician Gwyn Ashton hopes jam nights in Worcester will help first timers play in front of a crowd.

Midlands-based guitarist and songwriter Ashton (gwynashton.

“It’s a fantastic venue with a great stage and pro sound people to help get you set up,” he said.

“There isn’t a better way to spend your Sunday night and it doesn’t cost a penny to get in. Whether you’re an acoustic singer-songwriter or an acoustic band, you’re all welcome to come along and join in.”

All ages are welcome. Musicians should arrive about 8.30pm.

Ashton, with five albums to his name, was third in Guitar Part magazine’s Guitarist Of The Year 2001 list.
