Let the Bands play on...
The Music Club is approaching its second birthday. As you know incredible acts have graced our stage and we have an amazing line up planned for the coming months.
We had a wonderful surprise when Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze came along and played a Saturday night. It turned out to be a most memorable evening. On Sunday he jumped out of his 'Winnebago' to tell us he will be back later this year, we can't wait!
As I mentioned before, I would like to highlight a bit of history each month and last night Charlie our rabbit catcher called in with some photos of his band 'White Line Fever'. They regularly played in The Bull Shed in the 1950's, long before our Music Club was born.
Have a look at the incredible photos of Charlie and the boys with their Skiffle Band including the old washboard and tea chest. You may even recognise someone!
We also have a photograph taken later in the 1980's, let's hope the band will grace our stage again and bring back some great memories.
Please pop in and show us any of your old photos of The Bull or events in the village, we'd love to see them.
