The George & Dragon – Review
Yippee, it was Friday night again and the un-caped crusaders were heading out to the Derbyshire Dales once again to the picturesque town of Ashbourne, reknowned for its bone crunching and eye poking game of footy which involves as many people as you can muster on each team. TTB was on it’s way to The George and Dragon, armed with their axes and batons to slay them pesky dragons with some...

Bless me Boomers for I have sinned, it’s been 12 days since my last confession. In my defence I have to say that I needed some time for material to materialise, so now I’ve got all the ingredients together I reckon it’s time to start baking the cake.

As usual it was held in the Rockbar on Shobnall Road which was opposite the Marston Sports and Social Club. This was significant as we had noticed that a Bon Jovi tribute band were playing the same night and were...

This is the first time TTB had been to the Chase in Brownhills, indeed this was a new live music venue who were keen to become a leading place for live performances, and to that end had built a new stage area for bands to perform on.
