Last Tuesday of the Month 

The ALMA at Cottonstones

On the last Tuesday of the month    September to
June. It is dedicated to presenting the rarer performers from the folk scene. If
possible, we like to persuade people away from their more normal working
practices to give us an insight into what they are really about.
This is a very special club and you should go, run by Pete Coe and  friends, they're all brilliant performers, I've never had a bad night there

1st Tuesday of the month.Sing a round club run by Pete Blackthorn. Also the very famous Loose Elastic perform here--try to catch a rendition of Delila -It brings the house down-   sort of sing a round in the back room . Relaxed and informal and sometimes quite jolly- how dare you-we all know  this is meant to be a  serious business! The beers very good  as well.
