Thread Name: Music in Middlewich
Subject: RE: Music in Middlewich
Well, as the thread title is 'Music In Middlewich', I think it's only fair to mention also the Boar's Head in Kinderton Street which hosts monthly Saturday sessions, as well as a monthly Open Mike Night - Middlewich Open Mike (MOM)with, among others, regulars Ian Norbury, Andy Roscoe and Brian Ayling - which has been going on in various forms since 1995. MOM is on on the third Wednesday of every month and is presented by Live & Local, an initiative by Folk & Boat Festival founder Dave Thompson.
In fact the Boar's Head and Live & Local between them present music EVERY Saturday evening.
Saturday 2nd February will be particularly memorable as it features Roberts & Webb (Declaring an interest, I must point out that I'm one half of this unusual duo. You may be able to divine which half from my name)
Incidentally, Roberts & Webb are continuing with their residency at the Blue Bell, Smallwood, on the last Monday of every month.
And oh yes,the Boar's Head presents the most entertaining pub quiz you'll ever experience. Not very folk-orientated, but nonetheless excellent and wildly popular.
All the events mentioned here are absolutely free.
Thread-drifting a bit, can I send good wishes to Les Barker who I worked with many times at the Boar's Head along with the Salt Town Poets? We were all immensely proud of 'Breakfast With Barker'. Get Well Soon, Les!

Thank you for your time.
