P.O.S.T. #6 - Good people drink good beer
From the Old Street Tavern in Ludlow, Shropshire, this is quite literally everything you need to know, ever, about anything - up-coming gigs, the beer line-up, and the all-important Rupert's Password.
LIVE MUSIC
Debra Susan & Ritchie Dave Porter, fresh from winning Best International Duo at the ISSAs, got L.O.S.T. on Friday, to which they brought their original Southern rock and blues for our delectation and delight, and next up are The Flip, who are playing a free gig on Friday - expect beats, expect bass, expect beats and bass and things for your face.
We continue a busy Autumn of very live music at the Tavern. Check out our shiny new box office for the full line-up.
