We pride ourselves in giving our readers and subscribers the opportunity to experience legendary performers in small venues, thereby lessening at a stroke the distance between artist and audience. We also have a top-class team of hosts and hostesses including Mark Ellen, Kate Mossman and David Hepworth to fill any gaps between the acts with tests of skill, prize competitions and top pop platters.

Furthermore and most clinchingly we offer you the assurance of spending the evening with like-minded people who are not so busy texting, gossiping and running back and forwards to the bar that they spoil your enjoyment.

Tickets are currently available for the following events.
