The George and Dragon – Review
Our first outing for 2015 and we were all looking forward to it. We remenber last year when we did a gig on the 3rd of Jan here and were almost totally snowed in, but this time all was ok, no snow but a great helping of gale force winds just to keep the tradition alive. We arrived a bit later than usual as arranged to accommodate the diners, which worked well as we did not have to hang around...
Read MoreThe Gate Inn @ NYE- Review
Well there’s been a long build up for the New Years Eve bash at The Gate Inn, Branston and we have all been looking forward to this one. We were sure there would be a good turnout and we were not wrong, the place was a buzzin’ with lots of our regulars turning up and a few new faces too. I was coming down in the Hearse, as not having a drink I was the only one who could ferry the...
Read MoreThe Nags Head – Review
After the Xmas festivities we were all off to the Nags head in Ripley and the following Sunday, as you all know we had had a smattering of snow around and about and it was proving very stubborn due to the freezing cold.

When we arrived, the place was packed out, being the...

Saturday night saw us heading out to the Anglesey Arms in Winshill to play for our old friend from the Old Royal Oak, Erv. When we got there we noticed that the decorators were in, with the place undergoing a major revamp at great expense, the smell of fresh paint filled our senses and we were careful not to touch anything that looked at all tacky. The playing area was in the conservatory end,...
Read MoreThe Drum And Monkey – Review
Saturday night and we were off again straight off the back of our Marstons Club gig, with tinnitus still ringing in our ears we were pulling into the Drum and Monkey car park. Another first for us we didn’t know what to expect, but were hopeful for a good turnout. The playing area was at one end of the bar, in front of the large telly. It was of a good size and provided plenty of room...
