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 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
