Stockport bluegrass venue well under way

Tom Travis's new bluegrass and old-time music venue at the High Lane Conservative Club, High Lane, Stockport, Cheshire (one of the closest parts of England to this country), is up and running. Tom reports:

We have a show on the first Friday of each month. I opened the venue with my own band, the Tom Travis Bluegrass Incident, on 2 February, we had the New Essex Bluegrass Band on 2 March and, encouragingly, the audience is growing swiftly. The Britannia Bluegrass Band have dropped in from Liverpool on both our shows so far and done some great sets.

In case any of your members are coming over for Easter, we have Baker's Fabulous Boys appearing on Good Friday. Doors open at 7.30 p.m. and tickets cost £8. They have world champion and virtuoso banjo picker John Dowling in the lineup now, so there's an extra treat to look forward to.
