We’ve just taken delivery of the leaflets for our new blues weekenders at South Downs Holiday Village April 24th – 27th and at The Toorak 19th – 22nd June. We’re also expecting delivery any day now of the leaflets for the Jump Jive & Boogie Weekend at The Carrington next March and for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Weekend at Norton Grange, also next March.
These are already on the website for you to view and download, but do give us a shout if you can take some for friends and music buddies! We’d love to post you some!
We find that word-of-mouth is by far the best form of advertising so we really appreciate your help.

Stevie Nimmo Trio at Farnham Maltings 20th March 2014
You’re in for a treat on Thursday 15th March when fabulous guitarist and singer Stevie Nimmo appears in the Cellar Bar at Farnham Maltings. As one half of Scotland’s highly respected ‘Nimmo Brothers’, Stevie Nimmo has been a well known and respected figure throughout the blues and roots world for over 15 years. Having toured extensively with the critically acclaimed blues rock outfit over the last few years, as well as taking to the road in a stripped back, acoustic format, Stevie is now setting out on a new adventure in a full-on, electric, no-holds-barred trio format. Don’t miss this chance to catch an artist at the top of his game doing what he does best – standing on stage playing his own music in his own passionate, inimitable fashion. You will not be disappointed!
