PLAYING OUT LOUD!
NEWS

We were sad to hear of the death of Alan Briars last December.
Alan was co-founder of the Trowbridge Village Pump Festival and was also a musician himself. The Arc Theatre in Trowbridge is staging A Tribute In Music To Alan Briars on Saturday February 23. The lineup includes Alan’s former band Stove Gallows, Mike Silver, Johnny Coppin, Keith Christmas and Fred Wedlock. Please support the evening which is raising money for the Dorothy House Hospice. Tickets are £10 through 0845 299 0476.

Mint Burston, who died on November 17, 2007, was almost single-handedly responsible for turning the Joiners Arms from a back-street Southampton pub into one of the most important venues on the UK gig circuit, vital in the early careers of Radiohead, Oasis, Muse, Coldplay and almost any important band of the last thirty years.  Mint's unerring instincts, his tolerant approach, his unselfishness and his promoting skills are remembered and appreciated by all who have visited or played at the Joiners. Please use the Myspace tribute page to share your memories and appreciation of this unassuming but truly great man: http://www.myspace.com/minttribute
