POP QUIZ....free entry, top prizes. Plus half price wine on Friday...

Many cheers to those who came to see The Needs with Havana Guns last Thursday, that was a proper cracking night and we will hopefully be getting Needs back in early December.

This Tuesday Simon from The Smyths and his buddy Luke will be hosting the first of our monthly pop quiz Don't know much about history... which should be a lorra lorra fun. Quite a few people have asked so it is starting at 830pm, please arrive around 8 to register your team. There is a maximum of 5 people to a team, lots of fun rounds and we also have the nice people in from Cobra doing a beer promotion, buy 2 get one free or something like that.

Also, this Friday mucho cheap booze as we will be getting rid of all our wine as we are changing suppliers. The old stock which is all great wine (just an unreliable supplier) will be knocked out at half price per bottle so some will be as cheap as £6. We are good to you eh?? That will roll from 6pm to 9pm.

cheers
John

all aboard...

PS. If you are around this Thursday please pop in to see Steve Tyman, Alan Medley and Sam Sallon, 3 acoustic sets with guests.

The Needs, pop quiz, Christmas + New Year

"To the untrained ear The Needs may appear to be just another product of London's post Libertines scene, but the reality is much more interesting. Zachary Stephenson and co make music with a shambolic charm, delivered with the drive and passion of Dexy's Midnight Runners, and equally influenced by Fifties doo-wop, Sixties girl-pop and old cabaret showtunes. Following a dalliance with Alan McGee's Poptones label (a connection which fostered more Libertines comparisons), The Needs are currently unsigned and any record label could do a lot worse than take a look. You have to love any band who blow their budget for new instruments on buying dodgem cars."

So said Simon Price, the pop writer for The Independent and The Good Ship is delighted to host them this Thursday evening the 20th October. I'm sure it will be a wild night and also playing are Havana Guns who to me sound very like a modern version of Blondie with a bit of Pretenders thrown in. Check out their websites at www.funfairs-and-heartbreak.com (Needs) and www.havanaguns.com. Dj until 1am as well, a drinks promotion and £4 to get in. All very pocket friendly.

Of course next Tuesday 25th is the pop quiz; "Don't know much about history". Geddit?? There will be free entry and lots of prizes plus another drinks promotion there too.

Please put Squeezed into your diary on the Sunday before Christmas (the 18th December) and sorry to bore you with that subject already but if anyone has any suggestions for what we should do for the Christmas and New Year I would love to hear them.


all aboard...
