Let’s go out with a bang! Come join us on Sunday for West End Bar and let Chris Peebles host us through what’s sure to be a fabulous afternoon of tunes and good cheer. And a few tears too - as Oonagh and I bid you all Fare Ye Well as we pass the baton to the next custodians of this wonderful place. Please note 5pm start time - the Anster Harbour Festival clashes so we’re starting things a bit later. Music til 9pm, bar afterwards. See you then!
