My apologies - of course it's Steamhead (Steam Head?) not Head of Steam. Steamhead used to make the session for me.

There used to be a Head of Steam pub just by London Euston but it's not there any more. It was a really useful place to await your, inevitably delayed, train departure.

It certainly sounds like there is a lot going on in Middlewich and I'm glad to read that the "Boar's" is as popular as ever.

I read though in another threat that the Folk and Boat Festival is on its last legs. This is very dissapointing. I used to reckon it amongst the best run festivals although I have to say, in the last couple of years, its not been as good. We were actually thinking of going to the Oysterband's festival on that weekend this year as we've always fancied it (nothing to do with it being in Leicester!) and were a bit dissapointed in Middlewich last year.
