"Guardian" not quite accurate - Shock! Horror!

Today's The Guide in The Guardian has errors in their Rock & Pop section in their mention of the appearance by Pete Morton, Maggie Holland & Chris Parkinson at the Royal Oak in Lewes on Thursday 10th December (or for that matter in Colchester on Monday) as follows:-

1> It is Maggie Boyle and not Maggie Holland who will be appearing.
2> The trio are not an indie act from Nottingham but a trio of very talented top folk performers who will be presenting their lovely show "The Magical Christmas Tree"
3> The Royal Oak is not in the High Street in Lewes but in Station Street.
4> The phone number they quote is not the ones that we supplied. Neither is it the pub phone which we sometimes put in our publicity. It should be 01273 478124.

Four major mistakes in twenty words. Not bad even by The Grauniad's standards!

If you would like an accurate description of what the evening should be like have a look at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~tinvic/news.htm#dec10
