We were made very welcome and spent a pleasant evening listening to a wide variety of monologues, stories, songs and tunes performed by the club regulars. And drinking Joe Holt’s Best bitter at £1-something a pint.

NP+1 were honoured with doing a spot during the first half, and then the closing spot at the end of the evening.

A very friendly club, with an enthusiastic membership, we’ll be going back.
