Whilst we are gutted that St Fian are not able to make it to us, we love the fact we are in a pub full of lovely musicians and the particularly marvellous philcoopermusic who has step in at the last minute on a borrowed guitar! Now that’s live music!

Cheers Phil! 🙌🍻

Yesterday’s fringe arts event was Sip and Paint at rudisbarswindon

We loved that people came out and tried something new or rediscovered their love for painting! 🖼️

Swinterfest is not just music focussed but we want to highlight all sorts of art forms. This weekend we have had comedy, poetry, art and music showcased and it’s been wonderful to embrace it all!
