My, Oh My, Oh My…
What a night we had last Saturday – The Green Rock River Band were something else!
To say ‘we had a great time on Saturday night’… is a total understatement.
The Green Rock River Band were simply ace; really entertaining, fun, heartfelt and dance-able!
It looks like we raised somewhere in the region of £650 for The David Nott Foundation too.
A great night for a worthy cause = one special event.
Looking forward to next year chaps!

Small Breweries Relief: Urgent Review
The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) which represents larger family, regional and global brewers, as well as pub companies, has written to the Chancellor calling for an urgent Treasury-led review of ‘Small Breweries Relief’.
The BBPA has been unsuccessfully calling for such a review for some time, but has submitted considerably more detail and evidence this time in support of its case ahead of the Chancellor’s autumn statement on 23rd November.
SIBA has written to the Chancellor in response to the BBPA submission and does NOT support the call for a Treasury-led review. It’s urging the Chancellor to maintain the status quo while the industry considers its enhancement…

Green Rock River Band play Live At Langhams
Mike Harding (BBC Radio 2) describes the band as “quite extraordinary, I think they’re great”.
They’re a hybrid of old time sounds that universally connect with audiences; a sound that has echoed throughout decades of music history, in music hall, Americana, folk tradition and jazz. And all this is blended with a fantastic contemporary sound.
So join us from 7:30pm on 26th November for an evening of banjos, washboards, trombones, harmony singing and top British beer, all for a great cause – The David Nott Foundation!
Support from Anouska – a wonderful performer and winner of Southdowns Folk Festival’s 2016 Sussex Young Folk competition.
Free entry. Donations in aid of David Nott Foundation please.
