Sorry things are a little quiet for The Brightsides… if you’re wondering where we are then… two of The Brightsides are currently on Honeymoon!

Congratulations to Rich on his 1st wedding anniversary today! He is off with Sherrie enjoying a delayed honeymoon.

Meanwhile Lee is touring Europe with his new wife Lana.

Don’t worry we will all be back in time for Saturday night at The Goats Head in Abbots Bromley…
