For the past couple of years every Friday evening has seen St Monica's Parish Centre on Cannon Hill transformed into "St Harmonica's Blues Club" - three hours of excellent music, swift service of very reasonably priced drinks, and a great sociable atmosphere.  Starting this month, the same venue will be open on Sunday evenings too for "Unplugged Sundays at St Monica's".

The Sunday night gigs have been set up by Sharon Crowe and Colin Hook, the music loving team who run the Parish Centre and can be found behind the bar on Friday nights.  The formula for Unplugged Sundays is a simple one - they invite some of their favourite musicians to play in the intimate atmosphere of their welcoming bar.  The music will range from Irish folk to rock and everyone is welcome to come along.
