Jam Sandwich!

Smugglers Beer & Music Cafe, Sandwich

I'd only been to this venue once before, during Sandwich Folk'n'Ale festival last summer, when it was open and serving beer, but the music was next door in the Fleur De Lis. This time I got a lift over with Megan, Luca (Soft & Whippy Jam Band frontman) and Roz, got comfortable, had a nice chat with Will and Natasha's son Henry (Now about 18? I can remember him beatboxing with Cocos when he was a small kid about ten years ago!), enjoyed S&W immensely (the place filled up, people were dancing, wonderfully mixed demographic — an "awkward wedding" vibe, as Will put it). The Maywaves (young local rockers) rocked out and had a load of their friends and family packed in around them having a great time, so that was contagious (even though the music doesn't do that much for me...yet...I'm sure they'll evolve in interesting directions!)
