just to correct a popular myth - i think you will find that the entertaining outfit that hail from bradford way(??) and have played at both the sair and the nook in the last couple of years are indeed Free Sandwiches and not 3 sandwiches. Think the mis naming started with a badly researched poster produced by the mostly pickled landlord at the Sair.

Last year the band at the nook played in the makeshift shelter in the yard leaving the space inside free for the usual gathering of players.

No doubt the new gang can clarify the arrangements for this year in due course but there will be space for all within the hostelry i am sure !

There are other pubs that will welcome pluckers, blowers and squeezers - even fiddlers over the weekend.
