Changing of the Guard
Some of you may have noticed there has been a couple of changes of late with TTB. First change was Mark, having decided to have a break after 7 years of slog. We all wish him well and welcome our new main man. Paul, Paul is a seriously accomplished lead guitarist with remarkably similar equipment taste and style to Mark, adding his own stamp and flair. Paul has now been with us for a few...
Read MoreThe Grouse Inn – Review
Its been a while since the last review I know, but I felt our recent visit to The Grouse Inn in Darley Dale was well worth a mention. It was bit of a trip but nothing too strenuous, that is unless you are relying on Marks Sat Nav which always seems to send him around the longest possible scenic route and leaves him short of his destination.

Well it’s been a while since my last review, but as we were at a shiny new venue for us, I thought it was only fair to share some of our experiences with you all, and to give our fellow musicians an insight into the foibles of this venue.

Tick Tick Boom were set to start off the Saturday @ 1.30 so I had arranged with Glen to come and pick me up from the boat Saturday morning around 9.30am, giving us plenty...
Read MoreThe Olde Royal Oak – Review
Saturday night saw us all back at one of our favourite venues in Burton, The Olde Royal Oak. The Oak has been under the cosh for a while with uncertainty about it’s future never far away from peoples minds, however the efforts of Sue Cutting and the determination of the managers has kept it going as a foremost music venue for lovers of live performance. We all arrived in pretty much...
