Quicksilver are Hilary Spencer & Grant Baynham and firm favourites at the club. Steve Sutton is still our support act, one third of the Rigs of Time. The landlord at the pub provides a free light buffet supper for club patrons.

ACCORDION PLAYER WANTED

Yes, it’s true, somebody wants you! Bridgwater Arts Centre Bar are holding a French-themed evening on Saturday 19th January. Just sit in a corner and occasionally play something vaguely gallic and I’m sure they’ll ply you with free drinks. If you are interested please contact Bill Crawford (01278 450838, billcrawford@phonecoop.coop). I’d do it if I could play the accordion.

WHOOPS!

I forgot to remove this DEFUNCT event from the January Diary. Sorry about that. As far as I know the Thursday Folk Jam and the Monday Open Mic are still happening at the Central Hotel.

Mea culpa,

Tony
