Be nice to know if any thing happens there now , though ! |

19 Sep 05 - 11:14 AM (#1566668) Subject: RE: Weston super mare From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker shhhhh.. the Raglan has been a bit of a closely guarded secret.. [for 'various' reasons..] but now check out article in recent CAMRA mag 'Pints South West' new enthusiastic landlord.. great local beers.. a good few folkie musicians amongst the regulars.. the Uphill sessions are in one of the pubs just downhill from the abandoned church.. actually its the better of the 2 pubs imho.. but i have bad memory for names [links with Raglan folkies].. the Britannia for the last few years has a regular scene of older blues / folk'ish' singers and musicians.. and younger kids who are more into performing acoustic rock / soul standards.. [..a by-product of the thriving music tech and performance courses at the local college..] the Back bar is also building a similar scene as its right next door to the Brit.. [oh.. not forgetting Scallies.. the 'biker friendly' heavy metal / blues rock pub.. regular gigs from a variety of touring bands.. or Hobbits if you fancy a late pint and Goth & xtreme metal..] so for any folkies contemplating a quick cheap dirty weekend at the sea side.. there are a few music things to do in WsM |
