Bluegrass Jam
There are gatherings, and then there are evenings that feel like a small, vibrating universe of sound and flavour. Beer flows, plates clatter, and somewhere between the banjo rolls, fiddle reels, mandolin chops and upright bass thumps, conversation becomes music in its own right. This edition carries an added poignancy: a farewell jam for Chaya, the singer whose voice has threaded through countless nights. Friends and strangers are invited to pick, strum and sing alongside her, to linger over shared dishes and cold drinks and to mark the passing of a chapter with laughter and improvisation. The air is thick with nostalgia and joy, and by the time the final note fades, the memory of this particular evening lingers like the tail of a song you can’t quite stop singing.
August 30. Free. Radicle Beer Co, 8pm-10pm
