Spring-Heeled Jim

Folks, if you want to come on Saturday this is the last call from me. About half the tickets are gone, pop me a mail to reserve some. For those who have not seen them before but like The Smiths, you will love The Smyths, it is a 2 hour love in and untouchable for atmosphere. There are some fine bands on the rest of the week and Champions League football on Tuesday and Wednesday on the gargantuan screen.

If anyone wants to book the balcony for birthdays etc then do get in touch asap please. May is reasonably booked up already but we have openings on 5th, 11th, 18th and 25th.
