Many local people have made their stage debut here and several have formed bands with other performers they have met at the sessions. We have heard every genre of music played at Plug 'N' Play – rock, blues, folk, jazz, heavy metal, jug band, appalachian – and we’ve even had poetry recitations.
If you have any names of performers you would like to put forward for future sessions, please speak to any of the team or post it to the website / facebook group and we’ll consider it when we meet to discuss the programme.
Thanks to Penrith Players for their continued support in helping us to keep Plug 'N' Play afloat. They also supply the bar staff, who all work voluntarily, which is much appreciated.
