Please nothing over 6 minutes and we tend to play singles until about10 then album tracks.
Kick off about 8.

Quick reminder to all you clever folks that the SG monthly quiz is back Wednesday May 6th. Prizes depend on what teams we have on the night but there’s always the Malteasers as a consolation prize if it’s just not your night.
Plus, Play Your Cards Right - which requires only the ability to guess correctly. No brain cells needed!
Starts about 8 - booking a table strongly recommended as it does get busy sometimes.
