Someone playing hip hop on a harp plus more quizzes and much more

Dear all,
Lots of news and events so I have put them under bite size headings for your convenience

SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT
This Thursday 10th November we have something entirely different. Andrew Doc, a local Scottish chap with fantastic locks and a helluva voice will be performing and presenting Just Enough for the City. A hugely eclectic mix of soul, urban folk music, flowerty and all round hairs on the back of the neck stuff it says here. Starring the exceptional voice of Jeymes Samuel (he is Seal's brother, don't you know?), Andy Docherty himself, Lucinda Barrie (hiphop on a harp, remarkable), Dzifa Benson (a flowetry poet), Lisa Belle (a Swedish singer) and Livewire (dunno what they're doing to be honest). All in all, it's gonna be good and something new so £2 of your hard earned doesn't sound unreasonable eh?? Starting from 7 and until 1am.

Quizzes
Don't know much about history,,, was a great night and our 2nd instalment of that pop quiz is on the Tuesday 29th November. We will have prizes of alcohol and music goodies. By popular demand we are also introducing a general knowledge quiz (we do not have a snappy name for that yet, any suggestions??) that will be hosted by Carolyn and include rounds such as true/false, stage and screen, history, food and drink, sport, famous people. That will take place next Wednesday the 16th November. For both quizzes team registration is at 8 for an 830 start and a 1030 finish roughly. Bar til 1am.

Other band night for November
Alas we have no bands on the 17th November but we have a night on the 24th called Songbirds and Troubadours. That will be another ridiculously cheap one at £2 and will be a veritable smorgasbord of bands, plugged and unplugged plus other interesting stuff. I'll send you more once I have it.

The future
For December we have bands booked in every Thursday and a couple of Sundays too. We have somehow managed to land the best promoter in the UK (and probably Europe, apparently there is a better one in South Carolina but I haven't seen the proof) to do a couple of nights called Milk and Scissors. You can read all about it at http://www.myspace.com/milkandscissors and I would say hi to her if I was you; she's very friendly is our Marie.
More info will be on the websites soon but in the meantime a full list of the bands playing in December for your diaries as follows...
