The Floodgate.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to this, happening on Monday at the Floodgate!



Possibly the first live music there since Hymn For Her (with support from our very own @Goldilox!) which was back in July, I think…?

I’ve been to a few gigs there and have had some truly magical nights. For anyone struggling to imagine how you can have a gig in such a tiny space, it’ll look a bit like this:


(this is Ewan McLennan, November of last year)

Anyway, if you fancy it, I’d suggest arranging tickets a.s.a.p. because I’m not sure what the capacity of the place is, but I’d guess maybe only about 40.

Get ’em while you can! :)

I was at the Floodgate last night. I had 3 lovely beers.

The floodgate has been given a blue plaque from the RBL, which is now being displayed outside above sign.

Andy has also got another blue plaque which he is going to display inside the pub with some information about the soldier.... another reason to love this pub.

Gillie comes onto the ward to entertain the patients. Nice lady.

Well, that was a marvellous do!

First off, we had Esther Brennan and Ian Buchanan. Top notch stuff with a slide Dobro..

Then Heidi Browne and Gillie Nicholls. It just couldn't have been better.

This was the marvellous Girlfriend, with its remarkably compact brass section.

Nothing that odd about that.

I have always noticed a lull in such establishments this time of year until mid- late November

Arrived somewhat late this evening, a touch after 10pm following a quality performance by stafford players. Everyone there was clearly amazed at how many pints I could drink in 50mins....

Jester all round!.....
