April First Thursday at the Alex (6th April, 4-8pm)

Delighted to have been approached by Amelia of Sana Sage after pitching the Alex at the first of Ben Jennings' Singer Songwriter sessions at St Andrews last month. The result is that Sana Sage and Joanna Litten will be performing next First Thursday (6th April, 4-8pm) from 5.30 onwards. Love the sounds of their voices and so looking forward to hearing more.

Some short biographial information and some links to previous recordings below. Come along and have a relaxing listen. This is a quiet reflective space to appreciate the original performing talents of Rugby. (As in March the poets of Rugby Cafe Writers are invited and will be reading more of their work from 4.30 to 5.30). All this and art too!
