CBS Improv - Live Session with Guests

AFTERNOON SESSION FROM 1PM-3PM!

CBS Improv - A new monthly session at the Ferret where guests improvise with members of the Cold Bath Street band using their GRID system to create some strange, weird and wonderful music.

If you like what you see, put your name down for a future session or just come down and soak up the vibes.

Admission: Free
Time: 1PM - 3PM
Further Info: www.coldbathstreet.com

———

More info:

Anyone is very welcome to come down and watch. If you are interested in playing, the session has a particular format. There will be two pieces - one before the break and one after the break. Each piece is done on a GRID that tells the players when they're going to play but not what to play. You’ll need a watch (or stop watch on phone etc).

It's a basic (fun!) system, it does mean we need to know exactly who's playing beforehand as everyone is allocated a number on the GRID. If you've not done it before, we asked that you watch/listen to the first piece and then we can give you a number and you can join in with the second if you want to. The style of the playing will vary massively depending who shows up - improv etc.

You need to provide your own equipment. We’re not using the house pa. Small amplifiers are welcome.

Recommend parking on Kirkham Street.

Any further info message Cold Bath Street on Facebook.

Open Mic SPoken Word Night

FREE ENTRY

The S Werd started out as phone note ramblings. After complaining of nowhere to spout the words, and a few too many beers on a night out, a stage was booked! 

The S Werd is for spoken word, poetry, prose and limericks - all levels are welcome to come join for a spot! 

Whether heartfelt or funny, memories or made up - this is your chance to have the floor.

Hosted by Becca Jaye (or Screwps to some), The S Werd is open mic and free entry - with a usual excess of 11 acts this night has been a hit since its inception back in November ‘23. 

So come hear about dick pics, read texts from your ex, or hear why online dating is as funny as cheese on a plane… 

Free entry!

The Ferret | Preston

7PM til 10PM

CBS Improv - Live Session with Guests

CBS Improv - A new monthly session at the Ferret where guests improvise with members of the Cold Bath Street band using their GRID system to create some strange, weird and wonderful music.

If you like what you see, put your name down for a future session or just come down and soak up the vibes.

Admission: Free
Time: 730 to 930pm
Further Info: www.coldbathstreet.com

More info:

Anyone is very welcome to come down and watch. If you are interested in playing, the session has a particular format. There will be two pieces - one before the break and one after the break. Each piece is done on a GRID that tells the players when they're going to play but not what to play. You’ll need a watch (or stop watch on phone etc).

It's a basic (fun!) system, it does mean we need to know exactly who's playing beforehand as everyone is allocated a number on the GRID. If you've not done it before, we asked that you watch/listen to the first piece and then we can give you a number and you can join in with the second if you want to. The style of the playing will vary massively depending who shows up - improv etc.

Setting up from 7pm. Start at 730pm prompt.

You need to provide your own equipment. We’re not using the house pa. Small amplifiers are welcome.

Recommend parking on Kirkham Street.

Any further info message Cold Bath Street on Facebook.
