A night at the Music Hall is right up our street. It is great to have Dave Sealey back at the club who, along with his son Dan and Adam Barry, have dusted off Dave and Al’s repertoire and breathe new life in to the old songs. Get here early as we know they are very popular. Bring your voices they will do the rest.

Jude Rees, Oboe, Vocals, Woodwind ,TomKitching, Fiddle Mandolins, Jon Loomes, Cittern , Hurdy Gurdy, Concertina. With a line up like that you can expect anything and everything. The answer to your question is I don’t know where they are going to put all the instruments either?

Jul 13th. Robin Laing.

Robin Laing
Robin Laing

Robin Laing is making a very rare visit to the Midlands from his beloved Scotland. He has an enviable reputation for his knowledge of whisky both in song and story but there is a lot more to him than that. He can make a song his own whether it is from the Scots tradition or a more contemporary source. You feel he is singing a song just for you and is at home in a club setting. We are lucky to get him so be early.
