Another fun afternoon in the Sun! Check out the gigs page for upcoming shows – be great to see you at...

I went to see Groanbox last night at the Redhouse in Sheffield. The Redhouse is an ace venue, nominated at the Great British Pub Awards last year too for best entertainment pub! (I was there – they were robbed!). The band were as good as ever, I’ve seen them before but can’t get enough of their unique sound, if you’ve not had the delight you really should check them out very soon… then go see them...
