** NOW BOOKING! **
Ok, so it seems like it's way off, but with the Interkonnect folks hanging up their boots the boss man seems to think it's time to start thinking about who the hell is going to play next year.
So - Suggestions? Wishlists (within reason!)? Post 'em here or email thedogpub@hotmail.com
** ROCK STAR SEAL OF APPROVAL! **
Conor from Holy Ghost Revival chatted to your favourite local newspaper this week. Here's what he had to say about the forthcoming gig:
"I think it’s our fourth time at the Dog and Partridge, whenever we’re on tour in the country we try and make it a point to get over there and play, it’s a good atmosphere and there’s some cool cats hanging around and rocking out..."
"Bolton almost feels like a little suburb of Seattle in a way, it’s a small beer-drinking community and we really like that."
PLUS Sunday acoustic open-mic sessions, Thursday rock nights, Badvibes, T.R.A.S.H Your Life and Black Forest Ghetto.

About me: The Dog and Partridge is Bolton's original (and best) live music venue. If you hate hearing Oasis four times in an hour, if you care about music, if you're a band that wants to play somewhere you can be guaranteed a warm welcome and a decent PA then the Dog and Partridge is the spiritual home you might not have found yet.
Every Sunday is acoustic night - for a taster watch here:
"Regulars have already found plans and 18th century documents including a last will and testament in which the pub was bequeathed on a 900 year lease at £50 per year.
"Historical details about the stables have revealed that what is now the pub hall-way used to be a ginnel which horses passed through.
"And according to local folk-lore when the circus was in town elephants were also looked after in the stables -- that is why the building has the largest single pub front door in Bolton!"
The website doesn't work any more as it was created 10 years ago - but it certainly sounds like an interesting project!
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
If you're a local artist/musician, manager or promoter and you'd like to be more self-sufficient through your creative projects and you have a degree ... then why not try this new Masters course at the University of Bolton starting in September ...
