Well October was another extraordinary day at Greenhill, such as Dic Peabody, Purple Muni,Robert Tanner. Throw in Lady in Green, Job Opening and you can imagine the scenes. This month we have a man right on top of his game Fred Benson plus Gibby and Andy Short regulars Roman,David Ferguson,Richard Lodge, Wendy and Jill.

200 TKTS sold, historically therewasa 50/50 split between otd and ticket sales so it's possible it could be a lockout, I suppose people want to see the beautiful restoration work also.

Denny does weekenders in Australia as well as Europe, welcome to Burnley.

Plus Robert Hitchcock and Graham Watkinson.

Look forward to a second visit to Preston last few months, this one new to me but know Dave Gillet well so it's gonna be good,see how there, Roman

A return to an old venue for me as Richard Lodge celebrated a birthday with a gathering of lovers of soulful seventies, xover, and a twist of modern. Rooms with breakfast £65 with breakfast (Doubles) quote soul, Haley.

Guest djs Ginger, Denny Johnson , Australia.plus moe which i will add later.

Before refurb we had 3 events over the year of 350 each, I think the idea is to limit numbers for the first one, see how it goes. I will update ticket sales next week.
