On the 28th of June at the Blackgull, we've got two of our regular favourites 'Grungy Bill' and 'Brad Arliss' playing a special show for us...

'Bill and Brad's Excellent Adventure!' - in their words, 'History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell!' We can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

Its another free event as part of our 'Sober Sessions' line-up for 2026. We've got lots more bands lining up to come and play at our venue over the summer, so keep an eye out for more announcements!

The community kitchen will be open for hot food and the café for speciality Coffees, Teas and cold drinks. Might even get the barbecue out if its nice!

Doors open at 2pm, music starts at 3pm. We look forward to seeing you there...
