Situated just up the road from Kontra Roots Club is Finedon Community Centre, our concert venue, where we hold quarterly acoustic roots concerts, usually (though not always) on the first Fridays in February, May, August and November. These concerts, organised in association with The Modest Music Group (www.globalsessions.co.uk/modest-music.php) feature prominent name acts from the world of folk, blues and roots, plus supports from the cream of the UK's up and coming acoustic talent. The Community Centre is an imaginatively converted methodist church, which has wonderful acoustics and atmosphere, and is one of the best venues in the region for roots music. As well as legends such as Julie Felix, Wizz Jones, Richard Digance, and The Pretty Things, the Sessions have featured an eclectic variety of top acoustic roots acts in the four years it has been running, including PJ Wright , Adrian Byron Burns, Rory Ellis, the Daniel Smith Blues Band, Katy Lied, Gary Fletcher, Bex Marshall, Emily Maguire, Ramon Goose, and many more.
Tickets are very modestly priced, usually at £8, and can either be bought on the door or pre-booked by phoning 01933 398377 (also for enquiries). Refreshments, including real ales from the local Potbelly Brewery, are available during the evening, and concerts start at 8.00. Doors are open from 7.30. Finedon Community Centre is on the Wellingborough Road, Finedon, Northants NN9 5LG.
