Fri 6th	Acoustic Night The third of our monthly session featuring a local young talent, Elliott Morris who has been described as “One of the best young musical talents in the country", "...his talent is so astounding yet effortless”. A singer-songwriter, Elliott taps the strings and beats the guitar's body to create an intricate spectacle, together with an original and unique sound integral to his songs, starting at 10pm.  We would also like to invite those who like to have a play and join in or, if they wish, play a few songs solo before our featured guest starts (please bring your own instruments).

Sat 21st	Swansong (Rock/Blues/Soul) This band with an outstanding female vocalist can boast a very high standard of musicianship. Performing songs from Led Zep to Stevie Ray to Sheryl Crow with a sprinkling of R & B and Soul. 9pm start
