Welcome to the" Lounge" , last years sessions proved to be most talked about for a variety of reasons ,both the snug and the conservatory were packed to the rafters . At times the atmosphere was electric plus we had a really good giggle too. Once again we can rightly say that the music on display was /is unequalled Anywhere , no matter what various events may boast . So what of this year ,well several long standing collectors have been drafted in after playing here in the early days . Marriage , childbirth and just trying to survive can put a spanner in the soulful works , so welcome back guys you know who you are . Some of us of course have been here all the time ,toiling away to make the lounge the revered place it is today .Once again you know who you are , a big thank you from yours truly. Friday night we have Binnsy bringing us his innovative " George Jackson" soul night to Yarmouth , and Saturday will be the business too . Remember it's number 25 our anniversary have a great time I certainly intend to ! Now then wheres Cosby for my anniversary pint ?! Don't laugh ,one beer in 25 events is good going - trust me !.
