Hello myspace users of Birmingham,

This Saturday, come on down to The Queen's Arms! We've song, food,
wine and ale, all of the finest quality.

With free live music from the inestimably wonderful Gary Nock, Joe Wooley and Vincent Gould you can't lose. It's the Saturday Night at
The Queens Guarantee, with a full menu served till 9 and late bar
bites served gratis, the added reward of a finely maintained cellar
means that all but the most questionable of your appetites will be sated.

It's free, it's the best songwriters in Birmingham, it's Saturday Night at The Queen's.
