MARTIN BAINES - CELEBRATING THE 39TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS 21ST BIRTHDAY

Sixty candles is a lot of puff, so let’s call it what it really is: 39 years since Martin turned 21. He’s one of Six Strings’ own, and he’s not getting any younger pretending otherwise.

Grab your leathers, your cowboy boots, your hats, your wallets and your purses - most importantly, bring cash for buying the man a drink. He’s earned it. Several, actually.

📅 Saturday 29th August 2026
🕖 7PM onwards
🎸 Live music from Tim Lee Cavanagh, Buffalo Ghost & those Fargo boys
📍 The Shakespeare Pub, 146-148 Gibraltar Street, S3 8UB

There’ll be riffs, there’ll be rum, and one very well-preserved 21-year-old holding court.

It’ll be good, you can come.

(And it’s free entry!)

Thank you to everyone who came out last night and supported live music. That felt a real special night for all of us over at Six String HQ.
Big shout out to the artists who shared some real personal stories behind the songs many of us know so well. (And that last number together was so unexpected…)
