May 5, 20233 yr They still come in Rope & Anchor some Sunday nights doing 'open mic' to help up and coming artists, a great bunch of folk they are
May 5, 20233 yr Great live band and it is a great album. They seem like such a nice bunch it's lovely to see them finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Call in R&A for a post work pint or two sometimes now. Really like it, feels a proper boozer with good welcoming folk. 👍

The graft they’ve put in over the years is amazing and their back catalogue is genuinely superb. Had a feeling in the air at the Tyldesley church gig last week that it was all going to come together at last and they deserve every bit of success they can get. Gutted the tour dates didn’t work out quite as well as planned, particularly as ordinarily it would have been perfect that their Oxford gig was the night before Oxford away only for that to be my wedding day! Already got our tickets for the Apollo in December though 👍

I commented at the bar on one of my early visits that I had already decided I liked the place but even more so when I had just noticed the framed Wanderers shirt on the wall in the pool table room, it seemed to raise a smile from him.

May 7, 20233 yr Saw them at Bury Met tonight. Cracking gig, place was bouncing. Only caught onto them in the last few weeks.
June 9, 20233 yr Saw them at a beer festival at Chorley couple of years back, forgot what they were called but remembered the Bolton badge on the guitar… excellent band.
