Every Monday ! All other nights singers!
  Feb 8th 
 Grant Baynham
                         A solo appearance from the guitar master
and  one of the top ten acoustic guitarists in the UK!
Used to be on  BBC's"That's Life" and was in our opinion the best. The songs are clever, you can listen to them a dozen times and still miss some of the jokes, they can squeeze a nostalgic smile from the hardest heart and impress the most discerning guitarist!

A club favourite- we've always had a great night with Mr Clarke, this one will be no exception. He usually tries out new material on us so we get to hear it first! One of the best singer songwriters, Tuesday night is always karaoke!
