Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does it cost to join?
    There’s no formal membership, and attendence is free.
  • Do I need to tell you if I’m coming?
    Nope. Just turn up on the night.
  • Do I need to be a music expert?
    Do I need a music collection?
    No. All you need is an interest in music and an open mind.
  • What sort of music do you play?
    Anything. Curated themes aren’t genre based. We’re only limited by what people can bring.
  • Do I have to sit in silence?
    Only if you want to. Sessions are social events too. Just be aware that people need to hear the music.
  • Do you just play vinyl?
    We used to, but CDs are also welcome.
  • Do I have to have a beard and drink craft ale?
    We have plenty of female regulars. All ages are here. There are a few beards and only a small amount of chin stroking!
  • I’m shy. Do you bite?
    We’re a friendly bunch. Come on… it’s Swanage after all!
  • What time does it finish?
    We play more tracks after the second album, until the bar closes, sometime between 9:30pm and late, depending on theatre events and time of year.
