The Sesh is the brainchild of Mark Page aka Mak, who in 2002 provided a platform for local musicians at The Linnet & Lark every Tuesday night. With humble beginnings, the Sesh quickly established itself as a community event that Hull could be proud of.
Eighteen years later and the regular Tuesday Sesh has become legendary within the city, catering for emerging bands from across the UK along with the hundreds of talented local acts. The Sesh (located at the legendary ‘Polar Bear‘ for the past four years) still maintains itself as a free entry event.
The night brings together local creatives, from photographers, writers and local podcast shows. Fatherson, King No-One, The Orielles, Marsicans and Dylan Cartlidge are just a few names to have graced the stage in the last few years alongside over 1000 other performances during it’s history.
Venue Details
After facing a devastating closure during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic under the ownership of a national company, the previous management of the Polar Bear worked to resurrect the venue as swiftly as possible. With an overwhelming outpour of support from the resilient community of Hull, ‘Polar Bear Music Club’ made a triumphant return in 2021, this time as a Community Interest Company (CIC). In collaboration with their friends from ‘The Sesh,’ Polar Bear is dedicated to offering free entry nights every Tuesday, featuring a diverse line-up of local, national, and international musicians. Additionally, the venue hosts weekly free entry club nights, along with ticketed gigs and live performances, catering to a wide range of musical tastes and preferences for the people of Hull.
