Growing up, Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearth – in his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. Although they are on the road much of the year, the two musicians are fond of saying that they are rarely homesick, because their music means they always have a bit of home with them wherever they go.

Dylan LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who often finds himself flirting with the edge -- or “dancing on a razor,” as he calls it -- as it is all he has ever known. A verdict vagabond since he was a little boy tossed between Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, LeBlanc thrives on the precipice, never staying in one place for too long. It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: ‘Coyote.’
Southern gothic Americana music.

Basically, as it stands currently ( and we are working on this with the arts council for 2027 onwards….)
We dont have specific disabled toilets. But they are ground level.
The outdoor areas are not very mobility or wheelchair friendly but we can be on hand to help!
Indoor gigs are usually fine for wheelchairs but the toilet cubicles are quite narrow.
We are really sorry for this, its a 250 year old pub going through a big transformation. Its very much on our agenda to fix this!
