Thanks for the comment. We had a really great time on Wednesday. What a great venue, including the PA and lights. It's really great to see venues that promote live music in this way. Will encourage friends to get along as often as possible and also ask about gigs. Looking forward to coming back next year.
It would make me so happy to see you NEXT Sunday night at my Exclusive EP Launch Party… Starts at 7.30pm at The Central, 310 Huntingdon Street, Nottingham... Special Guests Ashdowne!! FREE ENTRY… All welcome!!
Hello Kev/Jackie/The Travelers Rest, thanks a lot for the add. Hopefully I'll get to play for you sometime? maybe in the new year. Cheers for now, Tim.
Hi Kev, Big thank you to you for our gig last night. As always it was a pleasure to play at The Travs. Great job on PA too!!! I'll be in touch soon re 2010. Warmest Regards. Nigel. PS. I'll get down soon for A Tuesday session.
Thanks again for your hospitality last night and a very enjoyable gig despite the rain affected turnout. Always a pleasure to play the Travellers - what a great little pub venue. I'll certainly be recommending you to my "A list" acts! Just spoken to Nigel and he's suggested we do more shared gigs, which is fine by me if it's OK with you. Looking forward to next time anyway. Best of luck with the petition by the way and hope you continue to thrive. Take care, Kev
