Thursday 19th September :)

It was a small, intimate, yet very funny fun evening. A small audience, and a scattering of willing musicians gathered. It was however a night of fun, music and merriment. There was ambience, a noisy chatty gathering at the back table, and a very laid back evening unveiled itself. There were several collaborations for the first time all on the spot, and a whole lot of vibrant energy. Thanks to all of you there, big thanks to,

Sammy Mellor (Ledge)
Phil (the barman who got up and played)
The Lurxx (attitude and peace)

Emma for the original images plus the caricature ones. That was so funny .. !!

Warning to all, Emma is often around, whether you are audience or performing, she is likely going to do this to you ... We Hope.

Cheers all,

Jude and Adam

Our first night of 2026 on the 15th was a warm evening of vibes and smiles. The time of year and the wet weather perhaps dampened the amount of people there, but it failed to prevent a lovely evening for all who came. 2 of our performers or acts covered a song by David Bowie to mark his passing, now 10 years passed.!!

An eclectic mixture of both covers and original music was brought to us by,

Adam and Jude
Nick V
Jason
Deanie
The Lurxx
Cahoots
Sammy and George both together and separately
Then The Lurxx + George and Sammy gave an unrehearsed, unexpectedly great version of Hotel California

Thanks to all who came, a nice start to 2026

We're back on February 17th
