Indeed - myself & Olly-on-the-fiddle will be playing from 8pm. Get your requests in now (extra consideration will be given if they are written on a £50 note).

I remember knowing people at university who accidentally managed to be registered both in their student house & at their parent's address, although that would be twenty odd years ago now.

The Bargain Booze/The Local side of it appeared to be open, but as I was not in need of alcoholic refreshment at the time of visiting I didn't venture inside. I've always had OK experiences with the Post Office there. On the other hand, I once tried to send some international parcels from...
