This Weekend's Events (8th to 10th March)
By Lawrence on Thu 7 Mar
Hi Everyone
You know something? That Martin Lewis is a jammy so and so! He's become a multi-millionaire by effectively saying "shop around for the best deal" on primetime TV for half an hour every week for years. If the bosses at ITV or Radio Five are reading this, I'm prepared to do that for half of what you're paying him
And while I'm waiting to hear back, here's what we have un store at the Rising Sun this weekend
Friday sees another BIG UNTIDY NIGHT OUT
The Big Untidy Night Out specialises in bringing new unusual talent into the Rising Sun. Singers, songwriters, poets, punk outfits, ambient experimentalists, sensational cellists and demonic banjo-players, the possibilities are endless
This time, the powers that be at Big Untidy, are pleased and proud to introduce an interesting and lovely new voice. PEM is a singer songwriter with a distinct Gallic tinge. The professors of modern skiffle DR SLIDESHOW also make a welcome return. NICK VEAR is better known to you as part of 80's influenced popsters Head of Steam, JESS TUTHILL writes and performs original songs on uke and loop pedal, completing an amazing bill as she makes her Untidy debut
We're open from 7.30pm and it'll only cost you a paltry £5 on the door to get in
Saturday morning brings another BOOKFACE BOOKCLUB
An informal artists book group. Ideal for sharing your latest book finds and creations, sometimes includes art and craft activities for book making
We're open from 10am-12noon and it's only £4
Saturday afternoon sees the return of the YELLOW TEAPOT CAFE
The Yellow Teapot Cafe might do everything a cafe might do. You can buy tea, coffee and soft drinks, biscuit and cake. But we are an event, a haven for those who like to relax, look at books, be creative and drink tea.
We're open from 1pm to 3pm and it'll cost you nothing to come in!
