Jam Night at The White 
				Horse.

				Normally, salfordmusic 
				is sat on its backside watching
				Muslim 
				Driving School on a Tuesday night but now we don't have to- 
				'cos The 
				White Horse in Eccles now host an Open Mic/Jam night.
 
				It's on every other Tuesday night in the main bar and is hosted 
				by the very affable
				Phil Ratcliffe, 
				local music 
				virtuoso and guitar slag. We popped down there last Tuesday and 
				had a whale of a time. First up were Pyjama Party, an 
				electric-ukulele-driven funk trio (I kid you not, fair reader), 
				which features the varied talents of
				Aidan Smith, 
				Kev Rodgers from
				Thingumabob & 
				the Thingumajigs and some other bloke whose name I didn't 
				quite catch. Highlights of the set were probably "Granddad's 
				Bike" and the set-finisher "Handyman".
 
				Next up were Celtic Vibes (or at least three-fifths of them) who 
				knocked out a couple of trad-sounding Irish numbers. In fact, 
				they were on and off so quick that I didn't get a chance to take 
				a photo of them. That one you 
				can see on the right is just nicked off
				
				their Facebook page. Oops. Sorry folks.
 
				And then the jam began- led by Scottish Salfordian 

				Calum Gordon on 
				keyboards, 
				Maxwell Watts on bass and 

				the aforementioned Mr Ratcliffe. Various people got 

				up and joined in and much musical fun was had by all.
				
				It was all really relaxed and anyone who wants to get up and 
				knock out a song is welcomed and encouraged.
 
				Hats off to Alex and Phil at The White Horse who are 
				putting some real effort into generating live music in the area.
 
				The next Jam night is on 23rd February and 

				every two weeks after that. Smart.
